You asked in your response to my comments from the v2 posting "What
would you say?"

Well, that's what I was expecting someone to tell me. If I'm reading the
documentation and see this, I might wonder whether I need this and what
it's used for. What does on, split, and off actually do. Reading
literally just what you have here makes it seem more related to IOMMU.
Hence why I asked. I'm certainly "hardware terminology wording
challenged" - glad that Peter/Paolo provided some insights.

After thinking about it a bit, I think no matter what we end up calling
it as long as we can inform the reader/consumer of our documentation
that this relates to the QEMU 'kernel_irqchip' setting which is an
architecture and machine model specific setting to determine where to
handle interrupts.  (that's about as generic as comes to mind). That
should give enough context to have the curious user to search on
"kernel_irqchip"...

I understand there's concern about being too specific, but since you're
indicating this is a QEMU only feature - I think some QEMU specifics
could be added.

What's still not clear to me is how this setting affects IOMMU. I'm
"assuming" that "up to this point" there isn't an impact. But I do see
code that specifically checks if interrupt remapping is enabled, then
irqchip must be off or split.  Something that could be added with the
docs when patch 5/6 are added.

Hopefully this helps. I'm fine with the code. If you change the name of
the feature to attempt to be more generic - that's fine.
