Hi Robin,

Out of curiosity, do we even need to support shared interrupts for any 
implementations today?

D06 board:

john@ubuntu:~$ more /proc/interrupts | grep smmuv3-pmu

  989:  0  0  0  0  ITS-pMSI 133120 Edge  smmuv3-pmu
  990:  0  0  0  0  ITS-pMSI 135168 Edge  smmuv3-pmu
  991:  0  0  0  0  ITS-pMSI 137216 Edge  smmuv3-pmu
  992:  0  0  0  0  ITS-pMSI 139264 Edge  smmuv3-pmu
  993:  0  0  0  0  ITS-pMSI 141312 Edge  smmuv3-pmu
  994:  0  0  0  0  ITS-pMSI 143360 Edge  smmuv3-pmu
  995:  0  0  0  0  ITS-pMSI 145408 Edge  smmuv3-pmu
  996:  0  0  0  0  ITS-pMSI 147456 Edge  smmuv3-pmu

Thanks,
John
