Thx for sharing the information, I agree with Zong Li & Greentime's
aspect: Don't limit the usage of PLIC! We could let (one hart -> one
irq) as default.

I also agree that using irq broadcast indiscriminately can cause
performance problems. (Anup and Mark Z's view)

I think you've discussed enough at that time and l won't persist the patch.
