As you said, it is unused. Therefore the functionality is superfluous.
Why merge it?
Because we can handle Hyper-V synthetic interrupts atomically, and that
was the intended usage of kvm_arch_set_irq's code (see commit
c9a5eccac1ab, "kvm/eventfd: add arch-specific set_irq", 2015-10-16).
What happened was that the API changed between commit c9a5eccac1ab and
the merge of the Hyper-V synthetic interrupt patches, and the latter was
not adjusted.
Alright, got it. Thanks for the explanation. So
