I think in real hardware what happens is that a single "wire" is distributed to all CPUs. Devices do not have direct links to all the CPUs, they are agnostic of how many CPUs they control (at least on x86). In this sense, using first_cpu is the right modelling in my opinion. Having qemu_irqs for all the reset requests would definitely be a good thing to do. In the meanwhile, however, having half of the reset signals as qemu_irqs, and the other half as function calls would be confusing. Alternatively we could add some kind of "meta-device" that distributes stuff to all CPUs, and hide the usage of first_cpu there. Andreas, what do you think? Paolo
