David Hildenbrand 5c0aea0e8d KVM: x86: don't hold kvm->lock in KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING
We needed the lock to avoid racing with creation of the irqchip on x86. As
kvm_set_irq_routing() calls srcu_synchronize_expedited(), this lock
might be held for a longer time.

Let's introduce an arch specific callback to check if we can actually
add irq routes. For x86, all we have to do is check if we have an
irqchip in the kernel. We don't need kvm->lock at that point as the
irqchip is marked as inititalized only when actually fully created.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
