So my question is:

1) do similar hardening like config interrupt
or
2) per transport notification work (e.g for PCI core IRQ work)

1) seems easier and universal, but we pay little overhead which could
be eliminated by the config option.
2) seems require more work in the IRQ core and it can not work for all
transports (e.g vDPA would be kind of difficult)

Thanks
