IOW: Is it a requirement that irqchip be "split" or "on"? It's difficult to ascertain from the bz, but if so, then I'd expect a domain conf post processing in this patch.
Per http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/VT-d: Currently, interrupt remapping does not support full kernel irqchip, only "split" and "off" are supported. We should not put current QEMU implementation limits into XML post processing.
Reading the bz it seems though that this parameter is optional for "certain" devices; however, for "general emulated devices" it's what is used to enable VT-d protection, but that could also be read as if 'intel-iommu' is enabled, then VT-d protection is on by default with 'intremap' just having some other affect.
Interrupt remapping is part of the VT-d feature.
Is there something we could describe here at a very high level to describe the usefulness/need for this parameter?
IMO that is out of scope of the element description. Jan
