This patch implements VCPU interrupts and requests which are both asynchronous events. The VCPU interrupts can be set/unset using KVM_INTERRUPT ioctl from user-space. In future, the in-kernel IRQCHIP emulation will use kvm_riscv_vcpu_set_interrupt() and kvm_riscv_vcpu_unset_interrupt() functions to set/unset VCPU interrupts. Important VCPU requests implemented by this patch are: KVM_REQ_SLEEP - set whenever VCPU itself goes to sleep state KVM_REQ_VCPU_RESET - set whenever VCPU reset is requested The WFI trap-n-emulate (added later) will use KVM_REQ_SLEEP request and kvm_riscv_vcpu_has_interrupt() function. The KVM_REQ_VCPU_RESET request will be used by SBI emulation (added later) to power-up a VCPU in power-off state. The user-space can use the GET_MPSTATE/SET_MPSTATE ioctls to get/set power state of a VCPU.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
