I don't think it's really okay as-is: As he indicated, there may be side
effects of the changes during other than resume from S3 (in particular
the IRQ_GUEST check around the newly added call to ->startup()), and
I was hoping you might have a suggestion on how to better distinguish
that particular case. In the worst case, Xen has to set another flag in
each MSI irq_desc when it resumes from S3, and do the startup as well
as the clearing of the flag when map_domain_pirq runs first for that
particular vector.
