a new module ?!?

you mean file, right?

Did we implement code to ensure this in the previous patch? I don't
think I noticed it.  Doesn't disabling the IRQ have the desired effect?

a critical section? who are the contenders of this, what action should I
take to make sure access to the critical section is serialized?

-1? seems like you're defining some new error code convenstions here.
-EBUSY perhaps?

probably want to use a goto label here as well.

why can't you do this on SET_NORMAL?

don't you also need to make sure the LR is unqueued from the VCPU and
kick the VCPU?  If there are hidden semantics that this should only ever
be called when the VM is stopped (stopping) then that is not clear, and
I think you need to just ahve the SET_NORMAL do the dirty work with a
cleaner set of semantics.

you're enabling the irq twice now.
