I initially put the basic platform init (overlay pages, grant tables,
event channels) into mc->kvm_type because that was the earliest place
that could sensibly test for xen_mode==XEN_EMULATE.
The intent was to do this early enough that we could then initialise the
XenBus and other parts which would have depended on them, from a generic
location for both Xen and KVM/Xen in the PC-specific code, as seen in
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20230116221919.1124201-16-dwmw2@infradead.org/
However, then the Xen on Arm patches came along, and *they* wanted to
do the XenBus init from a 'generic' Xen-specific location instead:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20230210222729.957168-4-sstabellini@kernel.org/
Since there's no generic location that covers all three, I conceded to
do it for XEN_EMULATE mode in pc_basic_devices_init().
And now there's absolutely no point in having some of the platform init
done from pc_machine_kvm_type(); we can move it all up to live in a
single place in pc_basic_devices_init(). This has the added benefit that
we can drop the separate xen_evtchn_connect_gsis() function completely,
and pass just the system GSIs in directly to xen_evtchn_create().
While I'm at it, it does no harm to explicitly pass in the *number* of
said GSIs, because it does make me twitch a bit to pass an array of
impicit size. During the lifetime of the KVM/Xen patchset, that had
already changed (albeit just cosmetically) from GSI_NUM_PINS to
IOAPIC_NUM_PINS.
And document a bit better that this is for the *output* GSI for raising
CPU0's events when the per-CPU vector isn't available. The fact that
we create a whole set of them and then only waggle the one we're told
to, instead of having a single output and only *connecting* it to the
GSI that it should be connected to, is still non-intuitive for me.
