what if the architecture does not implement kvm_arch_irq_consumer_init?

Also you are using here this single function kvm_arch_irq_consumer_init
to do some irq bypass manager settings + attaching your
irqfd->arch_update cb which does not really relate to IRQ bypass
manager. I think I preferred the approach where start/top/add/del were
exposed separately ([RFC v2 5/6] KVM: introduce kvm_arch functions for
IRQ bypass).

Why not adding another kvm_arch_irq_routing_update then, not necessarily
linked to irq bypass manager.

Best Regards
