Hi Sean,
I dont see any allocation for the GSI 13 and 14..
Is there any reason for the deassigning these two GSIs ?

Yes, KVM's rather bizarre ABI is that DEASSIGN is allowed even if the VM doesn't
have a corresponding assigned irqfd.  The reason I added these early DEASSIGN
calls is so that there will be an easier-to-debug failure if KVM's behavior
changes (the racing threads part of the test abuses KVM's ABI).  I didn't add a
comment because the helpers already have comments, but looking at this again, I
agree that main() needs a better comment.

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation.

Thanks
Sairaj Kodilkar
