[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/2] explicit VGIC initialization in finalize function |

With current implementation the vgic is initialized implicitly,
on-demand. This patch forces the init in the vgic finalize function.
At that point all the dimensioning parameters are known.
A new group/attribute in VGIC KVM device is used for that:
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL/KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT.
Among other things, this earlier VGIC initialization allows to
have a simpler handling of VFIO. VFIO platform signaling can be
setup on reset handler, making sure the VGIC is ready, at that time,
to accept injected virtual IRQs.
Tested on Calxeda Midway with VFIO platform use case
Can be found on
http://git.linaro.org/people/eric.auger/qemu.git,
branch vfio_integ_v10
v2 -> v3: changed to a patch since the kernel dependency was integrated
in 3.19
v1 -> v2:
- The init is not mandated to be done in a machine init done notifier
anymore since only the number of vcpus and number of IRQs must be known
at init time.
