We change the restoration priority of both the GICv3 and ITS. The
GICv3 must be restored before the ITS and the ITS needs to be restored
before PCIe devices since it translates their MSI transactions.

We typically observe the virtio-pci-net device sending MSI transactions
very early (even before the first vcpu run) which looks weird. It
appears that not servicing those transactions cause the virtio-pci-net
to stall.

Watch out, a change went in to the parameters/return value of migrate_add_blocker
earlier in the week - it can now fail.

Can we keep this commented so it's trivially easy to see the order, something like:

 typedef enum {
     MIG_PRI_DEFAULT = 0,
+    MIG_PRI_GICV3_ITS,    /* Needs to be before PCI devices */
+    MIG_PRI_GICV3,        /* Must be before ITS */
     MIG_PRI_MAX,
 } MigrationPriority;

Besides above: is it possible that in the future other platforms
(rather than ARM) can leverage these new introduced priority? If so,
would it be nicer that we use general names (like, e.g., INTCxxx? or
better?) rather than platform-specific names (like, GICxxx)?

Thanks,

Yes, but the ordering rules on other platforms might be subtly different.

I see. Then I have no problem in either way - we can rearrange the
defines until one day it is really needed. Thanks,
