The XIVE interrupt controller is the new interrupt controller
found in POWER9. It supports advanced virtualization capabilities
among other things.
Currently we use a set of firmware calls that simulate the old
"XICS" interrupt controller but this is fairly inefficient.
This adds the framework for using XIVE along with a native
backend which OPAL for configuration. Later, a backend allowing
the use in a KVM or PowerVM guest will also be provided.
This disables some fast path for interrupts in KVM when XIVE is
enabled as these rely on the firmware emulation code which is no
longer available when the XIVE is used natively by Linux.
A latter patch will make KVM also directly exploit the XIVE, thus
recovering the lost performance (and more).

[mpe: Fixup pr_xxx("XIVE:"...), don't split pr_xxx() strings,
tweak Kconfig so XIVE_NATIVE selects XIVE and depends on POWERNV,
fix build errors when SMP=n, fold in fixes from Ben:
Don't call cpu_online() on an invalid CPU number
Fix irq target selection returning out of bounds cpu#
Extra sanity checks on cpu numbers

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
