Sorry for the late reply.
As I mentioned before, we want to add vLPI direct injection test
in KUT, meanwhile measure the latency of hardware vLPI injection.
Sure, vLPI is triggered by hardware. Since kernel supports sending
ITS INT command in guest to trigger vLPI, I wonder if it is possible
to add an extra interface to make a vLPI hardware-offload(just as
kvm_vgic_v4_set_forwarding() does). If so, vgic_its_trigger_msi()
can inject vLPI directly instead of using LR.
Thanks,
Jingyi
