Conclusion: we must handle this in userland, it will have the benefit
to keep old behavior when there is no callback.
OLD QEMU will not see change as they will not set aqic facility
NEW QEMU will handle this correctly.

In this case we also do not need to handle all other tests here but can
move it to the callback as Tony wanted.

Would you agree with something simple like:

static int handle_pqap(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
int ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;

/* Verify that the hook callback is registered and call it */
if (pqap_hook)
if (try_module_get(pqap_hook->owner)) {
ret = pqap_hook->hook(vcpu);
module_put(pqap_hook->owner);
}
return ret;
}

All other tests in QEMU and in the callback.

With the hook checking for priv, fc, etc.? Yeah, might work.

But don't count on my feedback too much right now, better wait for
others' comments :) I'll resume in April, if needed.


OK, thanks

Pierre
