-MPIC interrupt controller
-=========================
-
-Device types supported:
- KVM_DEV_TYPE_FSL_MPIC_20 Freescale MPIC v2.0
- KVM_DEV_TYPE_FSL_MPIC_42 Freescale MPIC v4.2
-
-Only one MPIC instance, of any type, may be instantiated. The created
-MPIC will act as the system interrupt controller, connecting to each
-vcpu's interrupt inputs.
-
-Groups:
- KVM_DEV_MPIC_GRP_MISC
- Attributes:
- KVM_DEV_MPIC_BASE_ADDR (rw, 64-bit)
- Base address of the 256 KiB MPIC register space. Must be
- naturally aligned. A value of zero disables the mapping.
- Reset value is zero.
-
- KVM_DEV_MPIC_GRP_REGISTER (rw, 32-bit)
- Access an MPIC register, as if the access were made from the guest.
- "attr" is the byte offset into the MPIC register space. Accesses
- must be 4-byte aligned.
-
- MSIs may be signaled by using this attribute group to write
- to the relevant MSIIR.
-
- KVM_DEV_MPIC_GRP_IRQ_ACTIVE (rw, 32-bit)
- IRQ input line for each standard openpic source. 0 is inactive and 1
- is active, regardless of interrupt sense.
-
- For edge-triggered interrupts: Writing 1 is considered an activating
- edge, and writing 0 is ignored. Reading returns 1 if a previously
- signaled edge has not been acknowledged, and 0 otherwise.
-
- "attr" is the IRQ number. IRQ numbers for standard sources are the
- byte offset of the relevant IVPR from EIVPR0, divided by 32.
-
-IRQ Routing:
-
- The MPIC emulation supports IRQ routing. Only a single MPIC device can
- be instantiated. Once that device has been created, it's available as
- irqchip id 0.
-
- This irqchip 0 has 256 interrupt pins, which expose the interrupts in
- the main array of interrupt sources (a.k.a. "SRC" interrupts).
-
- The numbering is the same as the MPIC device tree binding -- based on
- the register offset from the beginning of the sources array, without
- regard to any subdivisions in chip documentation such as "internal"
- or "external" interrupts.
-
- Access to non-SRC interrupts is not implemented through IRQ routing mechanisms.
