4b3cfe72d9b9c53be31a88e7eebdda14f1757d3e intc/gic: Extract some reusable vGIC code
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.
