[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/6] kvm: Decouple 'interrupt injection is async' from 'kernel irqchip'

[Peter Maydell]

On x86 interrupt injection is asynchronous (and therefore
VCPU idle management is done in the kernel) if and only
if there is an in-kernel irqchip. On other architectures this
isn't necessarily true (they may always do asynchronous
injection), so define a new kvm_async_interrupt_injection()
function instead of misusing kvm_irqchip_in_kernel().
