 Hello!

 I have discovered one more issue, and it is major one. It gets triggered by VFIO. See inline.

 P.S. What is the overall current status? Long time has passed since the last email...

 At this point there can be a deadlock, because dist->lock is taken from within many places in KVM. If we are forwarding VFIO IRQ
using IRQFDs, then irqfd_wakeup() will directly call kvm_set_msi(), which ends up here. But, interrupts from VFIO devices can happen
at any moments, including those when dist->lock is taken by KVM status update code.
 Currently i added a simple workaround by disabling MSI fast path for KVM_ARM_HOST, but i believe it's not good solution. But can we
do it better?
 OTOH, i know, direct IRQ forwarding is on the way.
