As Scott Wood already pointed out, this should come in before the
actual header update, which is no problem. We'll have to deal
with a new warning (-Wmissing-prototypes) which can be dealt with
by wrapping this function into #ifdef KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING .. #endif
(I can add this).
Why? I don't see where the prototype is guarded by that, and I don't
see a warning when applying this patch to master...
But how about other architectures? Before, this function were only
defined for x86, now it is defined for two arches - x86 and ppc.
Aren't other arches need this as well?
Yes, it looks like KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING is no longer conditionally
defined, so all KVM architectures will need this (unless they provide a
non-dummy version). Are weak functions acceptable in QEMU? I don't
see any current examples.
