During early initialization, in the xe_guc_min_load_for_hwconfig() function, we are successfully enabling CTB communication, but it will only allow us to send non-blocking H2G messages, as due to not yet enabled IRQs, including G2H IRQs, we will not notice any new G2H message sent by the GuC, including replies to our blocking H2G request messages. And those successful replies are mandatory for the VF drivers to continue normal operations. As attempt to workaround this driver initialization ordering issue, introduce special safe-mode CTB worker, that will periodically trigger G2H processing, like original IRQ handler, in case no MSI/MSIX IRQs were enabled on the driver yet. Once we detect that IRQ were enabled, we will stop this worker.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
