Subject: [PATCH 26/43] Documentation: KVM: Extend VGICv5 docs for KVM_VGIC_V5_ADDR_TYPE_IRS
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 16:14:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427160547.3129448-27-sascha.bischoff@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427160547.3129448-1-sascha.bischoff@arm.com>
Now that it is possible and required to set the address of the GICv5
IRS in GPA space, update the documentation accordingly. This region
must be 64KByte-aligned, and covers a total range of 128KBytes.
