Regarding the irq_priv - in my patchset the XICS code adds its own
private data pointer. That has the advantage that it can be strongly
typed, and if it is non-NULL then I know it points to XICS data, not
the data for some other type of controller. As long as we are only
going to have a small number of IRQ architectures then it's feasible
to allow each to have its own data pointer, and we get the advantages
of strong typing.

OK, you're right, the generic KVM code serializes most vcpu ioctls,
including KVM_RUN and KVM_ENABLE_CAP, so the barrier isn't in fact
needed.

You appear to have missed this hunk:
