In other words, the whole idea of separate RISCV local interrupt
controller driver was dropped due duplicate information in privilege
spec DT ??

Anyway, I think we should certainly have RISCV local interrupt
controller driver to manage local IRQs using Linux IRQ
subsystem. This gives us future flexibility in having more
per-CPU IRQ without changing any arch/riscv code.

Based on ARM examples which I had provided, it is very
likely that we will see more per-CPU IRQs in future. Some of
these will be device IRQs and some will be CPU specific
per-CPU IRQs (such as bus error interrupts).

Anup
