[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/8] virtio-pci: msix masking optimizations

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

This patchset implements two msix masking optimizations.
It works fine for me but I did not have the time to do
performance testing yet so I do not know
whether it helps and which workloads.
Sending out now as I'll be on vacation for a week.
Please review and comment.

Thanks!
