apic_update_vector() is needed for some system vectors which are emulated/injected
by Hypervisor. Patch 8 calls it for lapic timer. HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK_VECTOR would need
it for hyperv. This patch series does not call apic_update_vector() for
HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK_VECTOR though.

Given that currently this callback is not used outside of apic code,
do I need to add it to arch/x86/kernel/apic/local.h or just remove it and use
conditional call in current callsites?

Ok, this was done to associate apic->update_vector() calls with the
setup (irq_matrix_alloc()) and teardown (irq_matrix_free()) of vector,
which was my understanding from your suggestion here: 
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87jz8i31dv.ffs@tglx/ . Given that there
is single callsite for each and vector_configure_legacy() calls
apic->update_vector() outside of alloc path, adding it to apic_update_irq_cfg(),
as you suggest handles all callers.

Yes, makes sense. apic_update_irq_cfg() is called for MANAGED_IRQ_SHUTDOWN_VECTOR
also. I am not aware of the use case of that vector. Whethere it is an interrupt
which is injected by Hypervisor.


static void vector_assign_managed_shutdown(struct irq_data *irqd)
{
        unsigned int cpu = cpumask_first(cpu_online_mask);

        apic_update_irq_cfg(irqd, MANAGED_IRQ_SHUTDOWN_VECTOR, cpu);
}

Ok, makes sense. Looks good.
