Which timer? There are at least 3, potentially 4 timers per CPU
that can fire.

Missing SoB from the sender.

If I trust the persistent rumour, this system doesn't have a GIC.
Why this change?

This cannot be unconditional. This potentially changes existing 
behaviours,
and I'd feel a lot safer if FIQ was only messed with on that specific 
HW.

I have the feeling that this should be detected on the boot CPU and 
patched
before any interrupt can fire.

I guess this is set from the root interrupt controller, which also
will set handle_arch_irq? Why do we need two entry points? We have
ISR_EL1 to find out what is pending. Isn't that enough?

This doesn't make much sense. The HW doesn't have a GIC, and Linux
doesn't use Group-0 interrupts, even in a guest.

Given that this is essentially a copy paste of el1_irq, and that
a separate FIQ entry point seems superfluous, I don't think we
need any of this, and it could be implemented just as the IRQ
vector.

Also, this has no caller, so it is pretty hard to judge how useful
this is.
