[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v9 7/7] hw/vfio/platform: add irqfd support

[Eric Auger]

This patch aims at optimizing IRQ handling using irqfd framework.

Instead of handling the eventfds on user-side they are handled on
kernel side using
- the KVM irqfd framework,
- the VFIO driver virqfd framework.

the virtual IRQ completion is trapped at interrupt controller
This removes the need for fast/slow path swap.

Overall this brings significant performance improvements.

it depends on host kernel KVM irqfd.

v5 -> v6
- rely on kvm_irqfds_enabled() and kvm_resamplefds_enabled()
- guard KVM code with #ifdef CONFIG_KVM

v3 -> v4:
[Alvise Rigo]
Use of VFIO Platform driver v6 unmask/virqfd feature and removal
of resamplefd handler. Physical IRQ unmasking is now done in
VFIO driver.

v3:
[Eric Auger]
initial support with resamplefd handled on QEMU side since the
unmask was not supported on VFIO platform driver v5.
