[PATCH v2] xen/arm: Black list everything with a PPI

[PATCH v2] xen/arm: Black list everything with a PPI

[Amit Singh Tomar]

XEN should not forward PPIs to Dom0 as it only support SPIs.
One of solution to this problem is to skip any device that
uses PPI source completely while building domain itself.

This patch goes through all the interrupt sources of device and skip it
if one of interrupt source is PPI. It fixes XEN boot on i.MX8MQ by
skipping PMU node.

Hi Amit,

Sorry for the late answer.

Title: "xen/arm: domain_build: Black list devices using PPIs"

Reading this sentence, it leads to think that Xen does not support PPIs 
at all. However, we are supporting PPIs in Xen but not able to forward 
them directly to a guest.

So how about:

"Currently, the vGIC is not able to cope with hardware PPIs routed to 
guests."

I would add a word explaining why they are skipped:

"The vGIC does not support routing hardware PPIs to guest. So we need to 
skip any nodes using PPIs".

The () looks a bit odd here. If you want to follow the other printk, 
then it should be: "  Skip it (using PPIs)\n"
