Yi Wang fbe4a7e881 KVM: Setup empty IRQ routing when creating a VM
Setup empty IRQ routing during VM creation so that x86 and s390 don't need
to set empty/dummy IRQ routing during KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP (in future
patches).  Initializing IRQ routing before there are any potential readers
allows KVM to avoid the synchronize_srcu() in kvm_set_irq_routing(), which
can introduces 20+ milliseconds of latency in the VM creation path.

Ensuring that all VMs have non-NULL IRQ routing also hardens KVM against
misbehaving userspace VMMs, e.g. RISC-V dynamically instantiates its
interrupt controller, but doesn't override kvm_arch_intc_initialized() or
kvm_arch_irqfd_allowed(), and so can likely reach kvm_irq_map_gsi()
without fully initialized IRQ routing.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
