This series introduces a Virtual IRQ (VIRQ) framework for OpenSBI to
support domain-aware wired interrupt couriering.
The main use case is to let OpenSBI receive a host HWIRQ in M-mode,
map it into a per-channel VIRQ number space, route it to a target
domain, notify the target S-mode payload, and let that payload
pop/complete the pending VIRQ through an SBI ecall interface.
The implementation is organized as follows:
- add irqchip helpers for S-mode pending notification
- extend domain context switching to support VIRQ-driven
cross-domain couriering and return-to-previous-domain flow
- add the core VIRQ mapping, routing, and per-(domain,hart)
pending queue framework
- add a VIRQ vendor ecall extension for POP and COMPLETE
- parse sysirq routing rules from DT under /chosen/opensbi-domains
- derive APLIC target hart routing from sysirq nodes
- update the irqchip/APLIC path to support deferred completion and
per-HWIRQ APLIC targets
- document the DT binding and routing rules
The DT routing model is based on "opensbi,mpxy-sysirq" nodes.
Each interrupts-extended entry contributes one routed physical source,
its entry index becomes the VIRQ number within the selected
opensbi,mpxy-channel-id, and opensbi,domain selects the destination
OpenSBI domain.
This series depends on a previous patch set:
