There's only one concern for pointer approach. Actually, this refactor is based on my vGICv3 live migration API patch set: http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg124205.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg124202.html It's simply more convenient to use a pointer for exchange with userspace, see vgic_v3_cpu_regs_access() and callers. I wouldn't like to refactor the code again. What's your opinion on this? And of course i'll fix up the rest.
