Thanks for the pointer! Looks almost identical to what I just hacked
up. The main difference seems to be that the implementation in the
tracker depends on "gic_cpu_base_addr" which isn't used by all
sub-architectures.

Ironically enough it looks like it was the omap2 bits that didn't
apply properly.

If I don't hear anything then I'll just resend my patch to the
tracker. If the other implementation gets merged sooner then that's
even better - having some code to share is much better than
duplicating the same code again and again.

Russell, do you have any preference?

Thank you!
