This whole series is really the minimalistic approach. The callbacks defined here must remain a temporary "shortcut". Just like proper abstraction of periodic tick compensation for reuse in other timers has to be added later on. And the limitation to edge-triggered legacy HPET INTs has to be removed. Jan

Since QEMU doesn't have a generic infrastructure to track interrupt delivery, I decided to reuse something that is currently available. The only mechanism that I'm aware of is the one that is utilized by RTC code ('rtc_td_hack'), i.e. apic_get_irq_delivered() etc. The changes that would be introduced by part 1/5 and part 4/5 of this patch series could be replaced if a generic infrastructure to track interrupt delivery becomes available.

Right, and I hope you have the resources to continue working on this topic in the foreseeable future. Jan

Some more comments: - instead of global variables, there could be a setter function (maybe inline) - pc.h would be a better place instead of sysemu.h > The changes that would be introduced by part 1/5 and part 4/5 of > this patch series could be replaced if a generic infrastructure > to track interrupt delivery becomes available.
