Yup, I was planning on doing this in the next series :). Malta and
the clockevent/clocksource driver need to get cleaned up first though,
so that they don't have to use the private register definitions.

Interesting, the interAptiv User's Manual I have, in section 9.4.7.1,
says: "Note that Software Interrupts from the VPE are routed
internally by the CPU in vectored interrupt mode, and are only routed
through the GIC when the GIC is in EIC mode, regardless of the
GIC_VPEi_CTL register." IIRC, there's a similar statement in the
proAptiv manual as well. I didn't play with the SWINT bits myself, so
I wouldn't be surprised if that's wrong :).

If SWINT gets routed both through the GIC and directly to the CPU,
then that's probably the best thing to do. I suspect we'll also want
to leave the performance counter interrupt unmasked too, since,
unfortunately, both the HW perf event driver and oprofile do not use
the percpu IRQ API.

Yup, will do.
