The main reason for this is that we want to call enable_intx() multiple
times and reserve_irq_fds() increments a static variable. That function
makes an approximation of the number of fds used by kvmtool and given
that we count a margin of 100 fds, the 2 INTx fds are already included
in that approximation (assuming we're not assigning hundreds of devices
to the guest).
But given that patch 3 highlights the need for a one-time init function,
maybe we can move the reserve_irq_fds() call there as well?
Thanks,
Jean
