[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/7] nvic: Don't apply group priority mask to negative priorities

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

In several places we were unconditionally applying the
nvic_gprio_mask() to a priority value. This is incorrect
if the priority is one of the fixed negative priority
values (for NMI and HardFault), so don't do it.

This bug would have caused both NMI and HardFault to be
considered as the same priority and so NMI wouldn't
correctly preempt HardFault.
