I'm working on that at the moment, and things look pretty good. The only
issue I have so far is that this piece of HW needs to become the
top-level interrupt-parent for all devices that are currently
interrupting on the GIC. So far, the only solution I have is a change in
the DT. But arguably, this should have been described in DT too...

Up to you, really. The only real issue is that when the stacked domain
code hits mainline, Tegra will stop working without this patch. -next is
probably already broken.

I'd be tempted to consider it as a fix for 3.18, as the current code is
obviously wrong. Just let me know how you want to get it in.

Thanks,
