KVM_SET_IRQCHIP is the state load ioctl, right (companion to KVM_GET_IRQCHIP)? It seems like a bit of an abuse to use that for configuration rather than for migration/sync of state with userspace... (For ARM we will just use the ONE_REG ABI for irqchip state save/load anyway, so KVM_SET_IRQCHIP isn't relevant.) -- PMM -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
