 * Hypervisor becomes to be able to use both GSI and Vector for callback
    irq.
    - For example, if it is normal value, HV accepts it as GSI.
      If it is value which is set MSB, HV accepts it as Vector.
  * If hypervisor gets Vector as callback irq, hypervisor finds the GSI
    for the pseudo device from virtual interrupt controller setting.

Hi Doi,

Understand you question now.

Linux-irq is equal to vector in VIOSAPIC,

I think linux-irq will not alter after guest linux boot,
So platform_pci can call set_callback_irq using vector (linux-irq).
HV will directly pend this vector without looking for VIOSAPIC.


Anthony.
