It makes user space's life harder, because you need to maintain backwards compatibility. If we do a version without irq routing and later add it, old userspace should still work, since KVM_IRQ_LINE still works, right? New userspace on an old kernel can test the KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING capability to see if it can use irqfd. So on the whole, I would like to get it in, provided of course I can get it tested and sent out before the window closes. > b) Please rebase on top of the current state of things, especially the changed lifecycle assumptions. Devices should now just live until the vm gets destroyed. It gives me way less headaches. OK, I've done that, but I need to grab David Gibson to get a qemu that knows about the new API so I can test it.
