This is a general issue with interrupt migration, and PCI core has code
to handle this, migrating interrupts.  So rather than work around this
in qxl I'd like us to first understand whether there really exists such
a problem, since if yes it would affect other devices.

Could you help with that please?

Maybe this is the only issue?
A way to check would be to call
    uint32_t pending = le32_to_cpu(d->ram->int_pending);
    uint32_t mask    = le32_to_cpu(d->ram->int_mask);
    int level = !!(pending & mask);
    qxl_ring_set_dirty(d);

instead of qxl_set_irq, and see if that is enough.

Note: I don't object to reusing qxl_set_irq in
production, just let us make sure we don't hide bugs.

You need to sign off :)
