No indeed. I have move them to standard hcalls in the current version.

Yes. I think we could. 

The hcalls H_INT_SET_SOURCE_CONFIG and H_INT_SET_QUEUE_CONFIG and 
the KVM ioctls to set the EQ and the SOURCE configuration have a 
lot in common. I need to look at how we can plug the KVM ioctl in 
the hcalls under QEMU.

We will have to convert the returned error to respect the PAPR 
specs or have the ioctls return H_* errors.


Let's dig that idea. If we choose that path, QEMU will have an 
up-to-date EAT and so we won't need to synchronize its state anymore 
for migration.
 
H_INT_GET_SOURCE_CONFIG can be implemented in QEMU without any KVM 
ioctl.

H_INT_GET_QUEUE_INFO could be implemented in QEMU. I need to check 
how we return the address of the END ESB in sPAPR. We haven't paid 
much attention to these pages because they are not used under Linux
and today the address is returned by OPAL. 

H_INT_GET_QUEUE_CONFIG is a little more problematic because we need
to query into the XIVE HW the EQ index and toggle bit. OPAL support
is required for that. But we could reduce the KVM support to the 
ioctl querying these EQ information.

H_INT_ESB could be entirely done under QEMU.

H_INT_SYNC and H_INT_RESET can not.

H_INT_GET_OS_REPORTING_LINE and H_INT_SET_OS_REPORTING_LINE are not
implemented.

C.
