Userspace can inject IRQs and FIQs through the KVM_IRQ_LINE VM ioctl.
This ioctl is used since the sematics are in fact two lines that can be
either raised or lowered on the VCPU - the IRQ and FIQ lines.

KVM needs to know which VCPU it must operate on and whether the FIQ or
IRQ line is raised/lowered. Hence both pieces of information is packed
in the kvm_irq_level->irq field. The irq fild value will be:
   IRQ: vcpu_index * 2
   FIQ: (vcpu_index * 2) + 1

This is documented in Documentation/kvm/api.txt.

The effect of the ioctl is simply to simply raise/lower the
corresponding virt_irq field on the VCPU struct, which will cause the
world-switch code to raise/lower virtual interrupts when running the
guest on next switch. The wait_for_interrupt flag is also cleared for
raised IRQs causing an idle VCPU to become active again.

Note x86 starts out with a default configuration and allows updating it via KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING. You may need this in the future if you decide to implement an irq controller in the kernel.

Please reuse trace_kvm_set_irq(). You can decode vcpu/type in a trace-cmd plugin.

+		vcpu->arch.virt_irq |= mask;
+		vcpu->arch.wait_for_interrupts = 0;
+	} else
+		vcpu->arch.virt_irq&= ~mask;
+

This seems to be non-smp-safe? Do you need atomic ops and barriers here? And a wakeup?

Unlike KVM_INTERRUPT, KVM_IRQ_LINE is designed to be used asynchronously wrt the vcpu.
