Since the use of FIQ is a platform integration detail rather than a CPU
implementation detail (and e.g. can differ across bare-metal and VM),
I'd prefer to always have separate registered handlers for IRQ/FIQ (also
avoiding the need for patching). That way we can explicitly opt-in to
FIQ when required, and avoid edge-cases where an unexpected FIQ could
livelock an unaware IRQ handler.

Marc and I had a quick play with that, and I have a series of patches
I've pushed to:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/log/?h=arm64/fiq
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git arm64/fiq

... which I'll post out shortly.

Thanks,
Mark.
