[RFC PATCH 6/7] arm64: irqflags: Automatically identify I bit mis-management

From: Daniel Thompson
Date: Wed Mar 18 2015 - 10:22:31 EST


This is self-test code to identify circumstances where the I bit is
set by hardware but no software exists to copy its state to the PMR.

I don't really expect this patch to be retained much after the RFC stage.
However I have included it in this RFC series to document the testing I
have done and to allow further testing under different workloads.
