But what happens if two devices trigger an S390_INTERRUPT before the vcpu_run? We'd have lost an interrupt by then...
We're safe on that: the interrupt info field in both struct kvm (for
floating interrupts) and struct vcpu (for cpu local interrupts) have
their own locking and can queue up interrupts.
cheers,
