hw/intc/arm_gic: Document QEMU interface
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The GICv2's QEMU interface (sysbus MMIO regions, IRQs,
etc) is now quite complicated with the addition of the
virtualization extensions. Add a comment in the header
file which documents it.

/*
* QEMU interface:
* + QOM property "num-cpu": number of CPUs to support
* + QOM property "num-irq": number of IRQs (including both SPIs and PPIs)
* + QOM property "revision": GIC version (1 or 2), or 0 for the 11MPCore GIC
* + QOM property "has-security-extensions": set true if the GIC should
* implement the security extensions
* + QOM property "has-virtualization-extensions": set true if the GIC should
* implement the virtualization extensions
* + unnamed GPIO inputs: (where P is number of SPIs, i.e. num-irq - 32)
* [0..P-1] SPIs
* [P..P+31] PPIs for CPU 0
* [P+32..P+63] PPIs for CPU 1
* ...
* + sysbus IRQs: (in order; number will vary depending on number of cores)
