QEMU IRQ abstraction
Paul Brook just committed a rather large changeset to abstract all the IRQ stuff through QEMU. This should make it pretty easy to implement in-kernel APIC without hacking the i8259 since all of the hardware emulation now takes a qemu_irq structure.
Once it settles down a little, it may be worth sync'ing KVM with QEMU CVS.

Anthony Liguori

I've taken a look, it's quite good.
