-* Freescale MSI interrupt controller
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible : compatible list, contains 2 entries,
- first is "fsl,CHIP-msi", where CHIP is the processor(mpc8610, mpc8572,
- etc.) and the second is "fsl,mpic-msi" or "fsl,ipic-msi" depending on
- the parent type.
-
-- reg : It may contain one or two regions. The first region should contain
- the address and the length of the shared message interrupt register set.
- The second region should contain the address of aliased MSIIR register for
- platforms that have such an alias.
-
-- msi-available-ranges: use <start count> style section to define which
- msi interrupt can be used in the 256 msi interrupts. This property is
- optional, without this, all the 256 MSI interrupts can be used.
- Each available range must begin and end on a multiple of 32 (i.e.
- no splitting an individual MSI register or the associated PIC interrupt).
-
-- interrupts : each one of the interrupts here is one entry per 32 MSIs,
- and routed to the host interrupt controller. the interrupts should
- be set as edge sensitive. If msi-available-ranges is present, only
- the interrupts that correspond to available ranges shall be present.
-
-- interrupt-parent: the phandle for the interrupt controller
- that services interrupts for this device. for 83xx cpu, the interrupts
- are routed to IPIC, and for 85xx/86xx cpu the interrupts are routed
- to MPIC.
-
-Optional properties:
-- msi-address-64: 64-bit PCI address of the MSIIR register. The MSIIR register
- is used for MSI messaging. The address of MSIIR in PCI address space is
- the MSI message address.
-
- This property may be used in virtualized environments where the hypervisor
- has created an alternate mapping for the MSIR block. See below for an
- explanation.
-
-
-Example:
- msi@41600 {
- compatible = "fsl,mpc8610-msi", "fsl,mpic-msi";
- reg = <0x41600 0x80>;
- msi-available-ranges = <0 0x100>;
- interrupts = <
- 0xe0 0
- 0xe1 0
- 0xe2 0
- 0xe3 0
- 0xe4 0
- 0xe5 0
- 0xe6 0
- 0xe7 0>;
- interrupt-parent = <&mpic>;
- };

-The Freescale hypervisor and msi-address-64
--------------------------------------------
-Normally, PCI devices have access to all of CCSR via an ATMU mapping. The
-Freescale MSI driver calculates the address of MSIIR (in the MSI register
-block) and sets that address as the MSI message address.
-
-In a virtualized environment, the hypervisor may need to create an IOMMU
-mapping for MSIIR. The Freescale ePAPR hypervisor has this requirement
-because of hardware limitations of the Peripheral Access Management Unit
-(PAMU), which is currently the only IOMMU that the hypervisor supports.
-The ATMU is programmed with the guest physical address, and the PAMU
-intercepts transactions and reroutes them to the true physical address.
-
-In the PAMU, each PCI controller is given only one primary window. The
-PAMU restricts DMA operations so that they can only occur within a window.
-Because PCI devices must be able to DMA to memory, the primary window must
-be used to cover all of the guest's memory space.
-
-PAMU primary windows can be divided into 256 subwindows, and each
-subwindow can have its own address mapping ("guest physical" to "true
-physical"). However, each subwindow has to have the same alignment, which
-means they cannot be located at just any address. Because of these
-restrictions, it is usually impossible to create a 4KB subwindow that
-covers MSIIR where it's normally located.
-
-Therefore, the hypervisor has to create a subwindow inside the same
-primary window used for memory, but mapped to the MSIR block (where MSIIR
-lives). The first subwindow after the end of guest memory is used for
-this. The address specified in the msi-address-64 property is the PCI
-address of MSIIR. The hypervisor configures the PAMU to map that address to
-the true physical address of MSIIR.
