Not sure what test you want to do on _hi. Since the physical address
I'm using is below the 4 GB boundary, the high bits are all zeroes,
even for a valid address. So to distinguish whether we're configuring
or de-configuring the MSI, I don't see how the address_hi value is
useful.
Am I missing something obvious here?

Fixed. Weird that gcc didn't complain here. hwirq is a unsigned long*,
so I would have expected gcc to complain when looking at *hwirq < 0.
Anyway, fixed, will be in v4.

It's not needed I believe. I've added some trace in gic_set_type(), and
it's really called for every ICU interrupt as expected, as soon as the
interrupt is configured. And indeed, if you look at __setup_irq(), it
calls __irq_set_trigger(), see
http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/source/kernel/irq/manage.c#L1309.
I've added a dump_stack() in git_set_type() to make sure when I was
getting called for the SPI interrupts corresponding to the GICP/ICU
stuff. Here is one example, from the XHCI driver:

So, whenever you do the request_irq(), __setup_irq() calls
__irq_set_trigger(), which ends in the ICU ->irq_set_type(), calling
the GICP MSI domain ->irq_set_type(), calling the GICP inner domain
->irq_set_type(), itself calling the GIC ->irq_set_type().

ACK, fixed for the next version.

I'm still waiting for feedback from Hannah and Yehuda in Cc on this
question. They should answer soon, hopefully.

Thanks again for the review. You can expect v4 today.
