[Skiboot] [PATCH 00/22] xive: new interfaces, fixes and cleanups in a new driver

[Cédric Le Goater]

Hello,

This series defines the high level XIVE interface for other drivers
using interrupts in OPAL : PHBs, PSI, NPU, and an operation backend to
prepare ground for the new processors and drivers (P10). The first use
of this backend is for a new P9 driver, which includes cleanups and
fixes.

The current driver offers a XICS emulation layer for older kernel
without XIVE native support. This emulation layer adds extra
complexity to the driver and a removal is proposed in the last
patches, but only in the new driver. Older kernels might still be
using it, none that are officially supported for P9.

The old XIVE driver is not removed, even if not used anymore, as it
would be interesting to keep it for the XICS emulation layer. We need
to find a way to activate it at runtime (I don't think we can use the
NVRAM though) or restrict its use to the XICS layer.

The new P10 driver is based on top of these new interfaces but it is
too early to include it.

Comments on how 

Thanks,

C.
