[GIT PULL] KVM: Device assignment accounting changes for 6.17

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Jul 25 2025 - 18:09:25 EST


Two changes that depend on the IRQ and MMIO State Data pull requests, to kill
off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment().

Note! To generate the pull request, I used the result of a local merge of
kvm/next with kvm-x86-irqs-6.17 and kvm-x86-mmio-6.17. The resulting shortlog
matches my expectations (and intentions), but the diff stats showed all of the
changes from kvm-x86-irqs-6.17, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out
how to coerce git into behaving as I want.

AFAICT, it's just a cosmetic display error, there aren't any duplicate commits
or anything. So, rather that copy+paste those weird diff stats, I locally
processed _this_ merge too, and then manually generated the stats with
`git diff --stat base..HEAD`.

The following changes since <the result of the aforementioned merges>:

KVM: VMX: Apply MMIO Stale Data mitigation if KVM maps MMIO into the guest (2025-06-25 08:42:51 -0700)

VFIO: KVM: x86: Drop kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() (2025-06-25 09:51:33 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
KVM VFIO device assignment cleanups for 6.17

Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated tracking now
that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a bad heuristic for "VM has
an irqbypass producer" or for "VM has access to host MMIO".
