I would have loved to eliminate that EOI completely, but that is a much
broader problem to solve ;)
Actually dynirq wasnt introduced as a performance alternative over MSI.
Rather, I was trying to eliminate the complexity of needing to sync
between the userspace PCI emulation and the in kernel models.
However, its moot. Since v2 introduce virtio-vbus, I now have a much
clearer picture of what is needed here, and v3 will simply integrate
with MSI interrupts and drop dynirq completely. So please ignore this
patch.
