The VFIO platform device gets connected to the platform bus on a machine init done notifier. Only at that point irqfd can be setup. An irq connect notifier would be helpful to do that job. Instead of adding a new callback at sysbus or qdev level, this series proposes to use the property check() callback (credit to Paolo). - the callback is passed to qdev_init_gpio_out_named - sysbus class now holds a irq_set_hook method usable as check callback - sysbus_init_irq initializes the callback to the class method - object_set_link_property is modified so that * the target object is populated before the check * check takes an Object ** enabling to access the object container. Then The VFIO platform device would override the irq_set_hook method in a separate patch. Please let me know if those modifications are acceptable. Else I will follow Peter's proposal.
