2015-09-24intc/gic: Extract some reusable vGIC codePavel Fedin
Some functions previously used only by vGICv2 are useful also for vGICv3 implementation. Untie them from GICState and make accessible from within other modules: - kvm_arm_gic_set_irq() - kvm_gic_supports_attr() - moved to common code and renamed to kvm_device_check_attr() - kvm_gic_access() - turned into GIC-independent kvm_device_access(). Data pointer changed to void * because some GICv3 registers are 64-bit wide Some of these changes are not used right now, but they will be helpful for implementing live migration. Actually kvm_dist_get() and kvm_dist_put() could also be made reusable, but they would require two extra parameters (s->dev_fd and s->num_cpu) as well as lots of typecasts of 's' to DeviceState * and back to GICState *. This makes the code very ugly so i decided to stop at this point. I tried also an approach with making a base class for all possible GICs, but it would contain only three variables (dev_fd, cpu_num and irq_num), and accessing them through the rest of the code would be again tedious (either ugly casts or qemu-style separate object pointer). So i disliked it too.
