Add optional MSI-X support: use a vector per virtqueue with fallback to a common vector and finally to regular interrupt. Teach all drivers to use it.
I added 2 new virtio operations: request_vqs/free_vqs because MSI needs to know the total number of vectors upfront. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <m...@redhat.com> --- Here's a draft set of patches for MSI-X support in the guest. It still needs to be tested properly, and performance impact measured, but I thought I'd share it here in the hope of getting some very early feedback/flames. Michael S.
