[v3,1/7] KVM: api: pass the devid in the msi routing entry

Commit Message

Eric Auger Aug. 3, 2015, 3:31 p.m. UTC

On ARM, the MSI msg (address and data) comes along with
out-of-band device ID information. The device ID encodes the
device that writes the MSI msg. Let's convey the device id in
kvm_irq_routing_msi and use KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID flag value in
kvm_irq_routing_entry to indicate the msi devid is populated.

v2 -> v3:
- replace usage of KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_EXTENDED_MSI type by
  usage of KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID flag
- add note about KVM_CAP_MSI_DEVID capability

v1 -> v2:
- devid id passed in kvm_irq_routing_msi instead of in
  kvm_irq_routing_entry

RFC -> PATCH
- remove kvm_irq_routing_extended_msi and use union instead
