Sending these notifications out of band should almost always be more efficient. Under Xen, one should use per-virtqueue, per-direction event channels. KVM has irqfd and ioeventfd, and the loopback transport can use per-virtqueue eventfds or io_uring queues. I would be quite surprised if FF-A and PCI did not have similar mechanisms that could be used. I recommend removing these from the spec and expecting buses to provide their own notification mechanism. --=20 Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers) --------------Q804O9tGxTeZcksNdjxtHwPd
