  • Thread-topic: permit_access functionality

What is the exact use of ioport_permit_access() and irq_permit_access() kind of 
functions? If I permit port/irq access to HVM guest for a particular port or 
IRQ, does that mean guest VCPU does not issue a hypercall when accessing them? 
If a PIRQ is asserted by physical hardware, can hvm guest directly get 
notification if given such access?
 
Thanks
Jayant
