Used to initialize the in-kernel interrupt controller. On ARM we need to
map the virtual generic interrupt controller (vGIC) into Hyp the guest's
physicall address space so the guest can access the virtual cpu
interface. This must be done after the IRQ chips is create and after a
base address has been provided for the emulated platform (patch is
following), but before the CPU is initally run.

I've now written the code for that patch but don't have access to a machine
with the ARM cross compile setup to build it until tomorrow.

Should that "Hyp" be deleted?

"physical"

"initially".

thanks a bunch for those, and sorry about the sloppyness.

No problem. Also just noticed "platform" there :-)

I'll spell check the diff just to be sure. :)

What enforces this?

Can it be done automatically?  issue a
kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_INIT_IRQCHIP) on vcpu creation, and you'll
automatically be notified before the first guest entry.

Having an ioctl that must be called after point A but before point B
seems pointless, when A and B are both known.

This could be part of a baseline, if you don't envision ever taking it out.

I reworked this according to your comments, patches on the way.
