The patch has no effect if you use the in-kernel IOAPIC. If you use a userspace IOAPIC you won't be able to use GSI 2 for MSI routing because it falls in the reserved range. > - Now, KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_MSI and KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_IRQCHIP > type entries cannot share the same map[gsi] (pls refer to the following > code), so where should be the IOAPIC entries exist in the map[] array? With split irqchip, only KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_MSI is used. Does this answer your question?
