What I'd like us to consider up front is whether xenstored is going
to remain only entity interested in this kind of information. The
entire design looks to leverage that there's only a single consumer
in the system.
Right. I'm just writing some RFC patches, and I have coded this
interface to be usable only for the domain having VIRQ_DOM_EXC
registered.
The alternative (IMO) would have been to expose the domain-state
bitmap to Xenstore (and/or other interested parties).
If we do that, let's do in such way that guest_*_bit() helpers are not
necessary because they are a massive hammer on Arm. This means the
bitmap would have to be read-only for the domain.
I strongly prefer my current approach not needing a shared memory page.
