For generic ipi core to use. It takes hwirq as its sole argument.
Hopefully this is generic enough? Should we pass something more abstract?

Hi Qais,
Instead of extending the irq_domain_ops, how about extending
irq_chip instead? If we treat IPI as a sort of irq controller, and
irq_chip is used to encapsulate all irq controller related operations,
and irq_domain_ops is mainly used to allocated resources instead of
operating corresponding hardware.
Thanks!
Gerry




Yes true. I was too focused on the reservation part so when it came to sending the IPI it just felt natural to add it to irqdomain as it was simple to implement like this!

Thanks,
Qais
