    KVM: s390: deliver floating interrupts in order of priority · 6d3da241
    Jens Freimann authored
    This patch makes interrupt handling compliant to the z/Architecture
    Principles of Operation with regard to interrupt priorities.
    
    Add a bitmap for pending floating interrupts. Each bit relates to a
    interrupt type and its list. A turned on bit indicates that a list
    contains items (interrupts) which need to be delivered.  When delivering
    interrupts on a cpu we can merge the existing bitmap for cpu-local
    interrupts and floating interrupts and have a single mechanism for
    delivery.
    Currently we have one list for all kinds of floating interrupts and a
    corresponding spin lock. This patch adds a separate list per
    interrupt type. An exception to this are service signal and machine check
    interrupts, as there can be only one pending interrupt at a time.
