Thanks! Currently, Xen and the bare x86 system only have the different irq_chip->irq_mask/irq_unmask. So I chose to override the two ops of bare x86 irq_chip in xen. Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk has been tested it ok in his platform, so I think we could use its own irq_chip for xen later if the difference become large. Thanks! Yijing. > > David > > . > -- Thanks!
