[v4 0/3] prerequisite changes for VT-d posted-interrupts

[Feng Wu]

VT-d Posted-Interrupts is an enhancement to CPU side Posted-Interrupt.
With VT-d Posted-Interrupts enabled, external interrupts from
direct-assigned devices can be delivered to guests without VMM
intervention when guest is running in non-root mode.

You can find the VT-d Posted-Interrtups Spec. in the following URL:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/intel-technology/vt-directed-io-spec.html

This series implement some prerequisite parts for VT-d posted-interrupts. It was part of
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.iommu/7708. To make things clear, I will divide
the whole series which contain multiple components into three parts:
- prerequisite changes (included in this series)
- IOMMU part (v4 was reviewed, some comments need to be addressed)
- KVM and VFIO parts (will send out this part once the first two parts are accepted)

This series is rebased on the x86-apic branch of tip tree.

Feng Wu (3):
  genirq: Introduce irq_set_vcpu_affinity() to target an interrupt to a
    VCPU
  x86, irq: Implement irq_set_vcpu_affinity for pci_msi_ir_controller
  x86, irq: Define a global vector for VT-d Posted-Interrupts
