[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/2] x86: Enabling emulated MSI injection
This patch series enables Xen to deliver emulated MSI for upstream QEMU. To achieve this goal, a new HVM operation -- HVMOP_inj_msi -- is added. Also the VMSI handling code for x86 is refactored. Libxc is modified as well. Tested with VirtIO net and VirtIO disk.

Define your new HVMOP at the end, and enclose in if defined(__XEN__) || defined(__XEN_TOOLS__) -- it is only used by toolstack (qemu) and this gives us flexibility to change your new interface in future if we need to, as this tells us it is not baked into the guest ABI. Apart from that, collect an Ack from Stefano that this integrates okay with his pirq/emuirq stuff for delivering HVM interrupts on event channels. It may be that you''re going in at a slightly too raw level. Stefano wrote a bunch of the pirq stuff so he can advise on that. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I mistaken that it should go into the guest ABI.
