[PATCH 0/5] x86/vlapic: implement EOI callbacks

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

The following series attempts to implement EOI callbacks for vlapic
injected vectors, this allows to remove the hardcoded callbacks in
vlapic_handle_EOI. Instead a new vlapic vector injection helper is
provided, that takes two extra parameters in order to pass a callback and
an opaque data blob that will be called once the vector is EOI'ed by the
guest.

My plan with this is to be able to provide EOI callbacks for all
interrupt types that we inject to the guest, this is only the first step
of that work by changing the emulated lapic to use this model. The
IO-APIC and PIC still need to be switched to a similar model.

Long term having such callbacks would greatly simplify the virtual
periodic timers code, as being able to get a callback when the injected
interrupt is EOI'ed simplifies the handling of missed ticks, as we would
no longer need to check at each vmentry whether a virtual interrupt
timer is being injected.

Thanks, Roger.
