That was my thought to avoid having different mechanisms.

The address/data pair is computed in two places:

  1) Activation of an interrupt
  2) Affinity setting on an interrupt

Both configure the IRTE when interrupt remapping is in place.

In both cases a vector is allocated in the vector domain and based on
the resulting target APIC / vector number pair the IRTE is
(re)configured.

So putting the hypercall into the vIRTE update is the obvious
place. Both activation and affinity setting can fail and propagate an
error code down to the originating caller.

Hmm?

Thanks,
