[PATCH RFC] virtio-pci: share config interrupt between virtio devices

One VM only has 128 msix interrupt, virtio-config interrupt
has less workload. This patch shares one normal interrupt
for configuration between virtio devices.

normal == INT#x? Please don't call it normal. The proper name is
"legacy INT#x".

So you are trying to use legacy INT#x at the same time
with MSI-X?  This does not work: the PCI spec says:
	While enabled for MSI or MSI-X
	operation, a function is prohibited from using its INTx# pin (if
	implemented) to request
	service (MSI, MSI-X, and INTx# are mutually exclusive).

does the patch work for you? If it does it might be a (minor) spec
violation in kvm.

Besides, INT#x really leads to terrible performance because
sharing is forced even if there aren't many devices.

Why do we need INT#x?
How about setting IRQF_SHARED for the config interrupt
while using MSI-X? You'd have to read ISR to check that the interrupt was
intended for your device.

It means we can't use interrupt and triggered-interrupt together for
one PCI device. I will study this problem.

I did some basic testing (multiple nics, scp, ping, etc), it works.

I have a draft patch to share one MSI-X for all virtio-config, it has
some problem in hotplugging devices. I will continue this way.

The virtio 0.9.5 spec says that ISR is "unused" when in MSI-X mode. I 
don't think that you can depend on the device to set the configuration 
changed bit.

The virtio 1.0 spec seems to have fixed that.
