[PATCH v5 12/18] hw/arm: virt: cleanly fail on attempt to use the platform vGIC together with ITS
Posted by Mohamed Mediouni 4 months, 1 week ago
Windows Hypervisor Platform's vGIC doesn't support ITS.
Deal with this by reporting to the user and not creating the ITS device.

Regular configuration: GICv3 + ITS
Resulting configuration here: GICv3 with no MSIs
And its=off explicitly for the newest machine version: GICv3 + GICv2m
