[PATCH v5 4/5] KVM: irqfd: use kvm_arch_is_virtual_intc_initialized

From: Eric Auger
Date: Wed Dec 03 2014 - 11:11:40 EST


On arm/arm64, the interrupt controller is dynamically instantiated.
There is a risk the user-space assigns an irqfd before this latter
is initialized and ready to accept virtual irq injection. On such
attempt, the IRQFD setup is rejected and -EAGAIN is returned.
