[RFC,v9,1/6] KVM: api: Pass the devid in the msi routing entry

Commit Message

Eric Auger July 22, 2016, 4:20 p.m. UTC

On ARM, the MSI msg (address and data) comes along with
out-of-band device ID information. The device ID encodes the
device that writes the MSI msg. Let's convey the device id in
kvm_irq_routing_msi and use KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID flag value in
kvm_irq_routing_entry to indicate the msi devid is populated.

v6 -> v7:
- Added Andre's R-b

v4 -> v5:
- some rephrasing in api.txt according to Christoffer's comments
v2 -> v3:
- replace usage of KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_EXTENDED_MSI type by
  usage of KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID flag
- add note about KVM_CAP_MSI_DEVID capability

v1 -> v2:
- devid id passed in kvm_irq_routing_msi instead of in
  kvm_irq_routing_entry

RFC -> PATCH
- remove kvm_irq_routing_extended_msi and use union instead
