Hi Alex,

Well OK I believe I understand your idea: in vfio device, loop on all
gic gpios using   qdev_get_gpio_in(gicdev, i) and identify i that
matches the qemu_irq I want to kick off. That would be feasible if VFIO
has a handle to the GIC DeviceState (gicdev), which is not curently the
case. so me move the problem to passing the gicdev to vfio ;-)

VFIO being mostly generic we could only do that in the derived VFIO
device (the famous calxeda xgmac device) or some intermediate vfio arm
device - let's be crazy!? ;-) - . GIC derives from std sysbus device (no
kind of generic interrupt controller device I could recognize) when
parsing the qom tree stuff so I don't see any other solution to retrieve
the intc handle after machine creation.

I can try that. In that case do you agree with adding/removing sysbus
binding_done notifiers in platform bus and drop callback in platform bus
class. I would call all registered notifiers at the end of
platform_bus_init_notify.

Thanks

Best Regards

Eric
