+
+This API indicates an MSI-X MMIO address of a guest device. Then all MMIO
+operation would be handled by kernel. When necessary(e.g. MSI data/address
+changed), KVM would exit to userspace using KVM_EXIT_MSIX_ROUTING_UPDATE to
+indicate the MMIO modification and require userspace to update IRQ routing
+table.
+
+NOTICE: Writing the MSI-X MMIO page after it was registered with this API may
+be dangerous for userspace program. The writing during VM running may result
+in synchronization issue therefore the assigned device can't work properly.
+The writing is allowed when VM is not running and can be used as save/restore
+mechanism.

+struct kvm_msix_mmio_user {
+ __u32 dev_id;
+ __u16 type; /* Device type and MMIO address type */
+ __u16 max_entries_nr; /* Maximum entries supported */

+ __u64 base_va; /* Host virtual address of MMIO mapping */
+ __u64 flags; /* Reserved for now */
+ __u64 reserved[4];
+};
+
+Current device type can be:
+#define KVM_MSIX_MMIO_TYPE_ASSIGNED_DEV (1 << 0)
+
+Current MMIO type can be:
+#define KVM_MSIX_MMIO_TYPE_BASE_TABLE (1 << 8)
