Hi Greg,

I'm not sure I see the value with the target_el member, it felt OK
to call the route function from the do_interrupt functions but I may
be missing something.

I had a comment on the trapping of WFX, I recall not checking for
has_work was causing a lot of exception round-trips when running
XEN. To the point were things almost stopped working.

I didn't check other registers and bit details from the ARM spec but
in general the series looks good.

Thanks,
Edgar
