Impact: simplification In the current code, for level triggered migration, we need to modify the io-apic RTE with the update vector information, along with modifying interrupt remapping table entry(IRTE) with vector and destination. This is to ensure that remote IRR bit inthe IOAPIC RTE gets cleared when the cpu does EOI. With this patch, for level triggered, we eliminate the io-apic RTE modification (with the updated vector information), by using a virtual vector (io-apic pin number). Real vector that is used for interrupting cpu will be coming from the interrupt-remapping table entry. Trigger mode in the IRTE will always be edge, and the actual level or edge trigger will be setup in the IO-APIC RTE. So a level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to the local apic cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC. With this change, level irq migration can be done by simply modifying the interrupt-remapping table entry with out changing the io-apic RTE. And as the interrupt appears as edge at the cpu, in addition to do the local apic EOI, we need to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear the remote IRR bit in the IO-APIC RTE. This simplies the irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping. Idea-by: Rajesh Sankaran <rajesh.sankaran@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Eric W.
