Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 7/7] xen: Enable event channel of PV extension of HVM

[Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com>]

I think that mapping interrupts into VIRQs is a bad idea: you should map
interrupts into pirqs instead, the code exists already on the kernel
side so we don't need to do any (ugly) change there.
Look at xen_setup_pirqs() to get an idea about how it works, in my patch
series enabling pirq\interrupt mappings is basically a one line change.
Besides pirqs and interrupts can coexist without problems and even make
pv on hvm work out of the box.

Even though you don't seem interested, I am still open on collaborating
with you to complete this patch series.
