[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] hw/intc/arm_gic: Document QEMU interface


From: Peter Maydell
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] hw/intc/arm_gic: Document QEMU interface
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 11:38:18 +0100

The GICv2's QEMU interface (sysbus MMIO regions, IRQs,
etc) is now quite complicated with the addition of the
virtualization extensions. Add a comment in the header
file which documents it.

I needed to write this out to figure out what I was
connecting to what in the a15mpcore object :-)

v1->v2 changes: fixed errors in sysbus IRQ and per-cpu GICH
memory region docs pointed out by Luc.
