Re: [RFC PATCH v1 10/10] xen/arm: GICv3 device tree parsing

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@linaro.org>]

Hello Vijay,

Thanks for the patch. I think the name of this patch is wrong. You are
not parsing the device tree but creating the node for DOM0.

If I understand correctly, DOM0 kernel must support GICv3, right? What
about booting DOM0 with only GICv2 support, e.g. because the kernel is
only using less than 8 CPUs?

Actually I would prefer if you introduce an callback to create these new
property.
