I asked what will you do when QEMU will gain needed functionality?
Will you remove QEMU from this list? If yes, how such "new" kernel will
work on old QEMU versions?
The needed functionality is some VMM hypercall, so presumably new
kernels that support calling this hypercall will be able to discover
if the VMM hypercall exists and if so superceed this entire check.
Let's not speculate, do we have well-known path?
All these (hypercall detect and invoke) will be done in
pci_subdevice_msi_create_irq_domain(). It will be transparent to the
callers.
Will such patch be taken to stable@/distros?
It will not be taken to stable. For distros, it depends. They can
backport if they want to support the feature.
