The change here uses the irq_request_opaque field which actually is the kvm struct, pointed out by you, thanks for that. > rename irq_request_opaque to struct* kvm in struct kvm_pic, and > modify all irq_request() calling(three of them in all) with (void > *)kvm. 'opaque' fields can be later made to point to other structures without changing the structure itself. This is an advantage. Will the kvm_pic struct be needed to change in the future? Very unlikely. So we can rename it to struct kvm *, however, that gives us no real benefit as against opaque (just readability).
