[PATCH v3 00/13] arm64: PCI/MSI: GICv3 ITS support (stacked domain edition)

The GICv3 architecture provides a way to implement support for
MSI/MSI-X using a specific block called the ITS (Interrupt Translation
Service).

The ITS can be accurately described as "page tables for
interrupts". If you think this sounds scary, you're spot on. It uses a
set of opaque memory tables that are manipulated through commands
(software almost never touches the tables directly). In order to make
it slightly easier to digest, the code has been split into (mostly)
logical units.

To make things more fun, this relies on Jiang Liu's stacked domain
patch series as now merged in tip/irq/irqdomain:

- patch 1 imports the new asm-generic/msi.h file into arch/arm64
- patches 2 to 13 are the bulk of the ITS driver.

This has been tested on arm64 with an FVP model, and is based on
tip/irq/irqdomain. The whole thing is available at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms.git irq/gicv3-its

Unless someone screams murder, I consider this to be ready for merge.

>From v2 [2]:
- rebased on top of the stable version of tip/irq/irqdomain
- use irq_domain_reset_irq_data instead of
  irq_domain_set_hwirq_and_chip on the free path
- use pci_msi_mask_irq instead of mask_msi_irq
- use host_data to pass the ITS structure around
- top-level MSI domain is now indentified by the ITS of_node

>From v1 [1]:
- rebased on top of tip/irq/irqdomain
- dropped the arm64-specific implementation of arch_setup_msi_irqs and co.
- reworked the whole ITS/MSI setup to use the new MSI/PCI split
