X-Gene has gic-400 as an interrupt controller. Only thing is GIC pages are mapped at 64K boundary (with 64K page size) Hence CPU, VCPU interfaces has a size of 128K (2GIC pages) Regarding GICC_DIR, yes there is a problem which needs to be solved since the first page size is 64K. In XEN we already have a small fix to access GICC_DIR with 64K page offset instead of standard 4K. I remember a small discussion in this regard in past (http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2014-June/266468.html) which was deferred at that time. Once this patch is accepted we can post RFC patch to address GICC_DIR and discuss further. > > I think perhaps we need a specific compatible property to indicate a > GIC-400 with address swizzling.
