As per the VIRTIO specification, every virtio device configuration can be updated while the guest is running. The guest needs to be notified when this happens, and it can be done in two different ways, depending on the type of interrupt being used for those devices. In case the device uses INTx, the allocated IRQ pin is shared between queues and configuration updates. The way for the guest to differentiate between an interrupt meant for a virtqueue or meant for a configuration update is tied to the value of the ISR status field. This field is a simple 32 bits bitmask where only bit 0 and 1 can be changed, the rest is reserved. In case the device uses MSI/MSI-X, the driver should allocate a dedicated vector for configuration updates. This case is much simpler as it only requires the device to send the appropriate MSI vector. The cloud-hypervisor codebase was not supporting the update of a virtio device configuration. This patch extends the existing VirtioInterrupt closure to accept a type that can be Config or Queue, so that based on this type, the closure implementation can make the right choice about which interrupt pin or vector to trigger.
