From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

This optimization was once used in qemu-kvm to keep KVM route usage low.
But now we solved that problem via lazy updates. It also tried to handle
the case of vectors shared between different sources of the same device.
However, this never really worked and will have to be addressed
differently anyway. So drop this obsolete interface.

We still need interfaces to clear pending vectors though. Provide
msix_clear_vector and msix_clear_all_vectors for this.

This also unbreaks MSI-X after reset for ivshmem and megasas as device
models can't easily mark their vectors used afterward (megasas didn't
even try).

This patch has been posted some moons again, and we had a discussion
about the impact on the existing users. At that time, MSI-X refactoring
for KVM support was not yet merged. Now it is, and it should be better
much clearer that vector usage tracking has no business with that
feature.

I keep thinking we should instead call vector notifier
here, so that virtio can detect and handle cases where
kvm_virtio_pci_vq_vector_use fails.
ATM it just asserts.

Maybe I am wrong.

Let's delay this decision until 1.3.

Yep, that feature can be added on top of this patch in 1.3, but we
should still remove the usage tracking to fix its issues. There is no
feature regression related to this.

OK, to address that virtio requirement (in 1.3) we can simply
preallocate an MSI route on VIRTIO_MSI_CONFIG/QUEUE_VECTOR and update
that route (I have a patch for kvm_irqchip_update_msi_route here
already) on vector_use.

The point is: That all is pure virtio business, nothing the generic
MSI-X layer nor any normal MSI-X device or even pci-assign/vfio have to
deal with.
