What do you mean here?  Is there an ongoing discussion on the mailing
list somewhere?

We usually don't include these conflict notices when sending out
patches.

I don't even see how the comment correlates to the define.  Hmmm.  But
since Marc asked you to change this anyhow, maybe this doesn't matter
now.

As Mark pointed out, just copy the vgic reg value and do a simple xor on
the two instead, and factor out the two lines that check for
is_assigned_irq and calles notify_acked so that you can give a small
static function a semantically meaningful name and call that from both
this function and the process_maintenance function.

That being said, this whole thing feels a bit weird, I'll comment on the
other thread.

I think the preferred style is to keep the function call name on the
same line as the assignment, and the do a line break on the parameter
that doesn't fit in the line width and align that to the opening
parenthesis on the funciton call.  At least I prefer it that way.

also spaces around the '-', please.

This comment seems to only aplly for non-assigned IRQs now, right?

is identity table used after this stage?  If not, could you not
dynamically allocate it and free it after use so we don't waste this
staic allocation of memory in the kernel?

Hmmm, this comment seems rather pointless in this file.  If you want to
describe what this function does, then just document this functionality
and the parameters/return value, i.e.

vgic_set_assigned_irq - set state of IRQs driven by irqfd

When an IRQ is raised or lowered.... blah blah blah blah.

@e:   the routing entry describing...
@kvm: the kvm struct
and so on.

return 0 on success, -error on errors.

I noticed this in the changelogs too, where's the rationale/API
documentaiton for the use of irqchip.pin and its semantics on ARM?

Should we add something in Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt ?

hmmm, stuff like this definitely makes this patch an RFC.

This seems very wrong.  What if an external device raises a
level-triggered IRQ, but then lowers it again, without the guest was
ever running, now you have to wait until the guest sees the (now
inactive) interrupt and EOIs it before the interrupt is lowered on the
vgic?

Not sure I understand this comment.  What are we trying to achieve, are
we using some sort of a workaround to avoid a deadlock?

That's a lot of unnecessary white space.
