[Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 03/17] iommu: Add iommu_intpost to control VT-d Posted-Interrupts feature

[Feng Wu <feng.wu@xxxxxxxxx>]

VT-d Posted-Interrupts is an enhancement to CPU side Posted-Interrupt.
With VT-d Posted-Interrupts enabled, external interrupts from
direct-assigned devices can be delivered to guests without VMM
intervention when guest is running in non-root mode.

This patch adds variable 'iommu_intpost' to control whether enable VT-d
posted-interrupt or not in the generic IOMMU code.

v5:
- Remove the "if no intremap then no intpost" logic in parse_iommu_param(), 
which
  can be covered in iommu_setup()

v3:
- Remove pointless initializer for 'iommu_intpost'.
- Some adjustment for "if no intremap then no intpost" logic.
    * For parse_iommu_param(), move it to the end of the function,
      so we don't need to add the some logic when introduing the
      new kernel parameter 'intpost' in later patch.
    * Add this logic in iommu_setup() after iommu_hardware_setup()
      is called.
