Re: [PATCH 07/10] xen/arm: Force domains to use normal GICv2 driver on Hip04 platform

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

Hi Frediano,

FYI, this is only force DOM0 to use the normal GICv2 drivers.

Do you have any plan to support hi-silicon vGIC in Xen? This would allow
guest running with more than 8 cores.

Regards,
