Yes please apologize for this silence. I have a limited access to my emails.

I agree with you on the fact the opaque data suggestion has some flaws,
you already pointed out. I think it is worth investigating your proposal
of not vfio-masking the forwarded interrupt when unforwarding. As of now
I am not 100% sure it will work since desynchronization between the VFIO
state and the virtual GIC state is introduced. guest is likely to
deactivate the IRQ, causing the resamplefd to unmask the non-masked IRQ
(leads to some kernel warnings although not a serious problem). If a new
physical non forwarded IRQ occurs, the deactivation of the n-1th
previously forwarded IRQ can unmask it, ... So I need to analyze all
those wicked cases.

But this v2 helps fixing the forward case and that's definitively good!

Thanks
