uh, right, I don't see the distinction though, so not sure how to
correct the text.
Would "Setting the attribute overrides the default values (see below)."
work instead?

It clashes horribly with the default value. I tried it and gave up. I
don't think it's reasonable to require userspace to set stuff to a
non-default value first etc., and I experimented with initializing the
irq numbers to 0 and then check stuff later, but it became a huge mess
basically.

Argh, good point.
So actually, nothing *really bad* happens from using the same IRQ number
except that the VM gets confused. However, it's living life dangerously
because we use the HW bit for the vtimer, so we if ever start using it
for other timers or the PMU, then you could end up in a situation where
you unmap the phys mapping on behalf of another device, and the physical
interrupt could be left in an active state.
On the other hand, the vtimer currently belongs only to VMs and we set
the required physical active state before entering the VM, so maybe it
doesn't matter.
Should we just forego these checks and let the user shoot itself in the
foot if he/she wants to?
Thanks,
