[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] spapr/irq: Only claim VALID interrupts at the KVM level

[Cédric Le Goater]

A typical pseries VM with 16 vCPUs, one disk, one network adapater
uses less than 100 interrupts but the whole IRQ number space of the
QEMU machine is allocated at reset time and it is 8K wide. This is
wasting a considerable amount of interrupt numbers in the global IRQ
space which has 1M interrupts per socket on a POWER9.

To optimise the HW resources, only request at the KVM level interrupts
which have been claimed by the guest. This will help to increase the
maximum number of VMs per system and also help supporting nested guests
using the XIVE interrupt mode.
