Ok so our current situation is that the XICS and MPIC are emulated in userspace entirely but the link between them and the VCPU is the asynchronous EE line so we are fine. I'm currently working on moving the XICS into the kernel for performance reasons, however, just like ARM VGIC, I can't seem to find a way to "fit" in the "generic" irqchip code in there. It's just not generic at all and quite x86 centric :-) So for now I'm just doing my own version of CREATE_IRQCHIP to create it and KVM_INTERRUPT to trigger the various interrupts. None of the mapping stuff (which we really don't need). That's a bit of a problem vs. some of the code qemu-side such as in virtio-pci which does seem to be written around the model exposed by the x86 stuff and relies on doing such mappings so I think we'll have to butcher some of that.
