> Subject: [RFC PATCH] irq: IRQ bypass manager
> 
> When a physical I/O device is assigned to a virtual machine through
> facilities like VFIO and KVM, the interrupt for the device generally
> bounces through the host system before being injected into the VM.
> However, hardware technologies exist that often allow the host to be
> bypassed for some of these scenarios.  Intel Posted Interrupts allow

> interrupt consumers, generally the hypervisor, in order to configure
> these bypass mechanism.  To do this, we base the connection on a
> shared, opaque token.  For KVM-VFIO this is expected to be an

Yeah, the update() callback is added by me, I need it to update IRTE
in irqfd_update().
