ARM Virtual Generic Interrupt Controller v2 (VGIC)
==================================================
Device types supported:
- KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V2 ARM Generic Interrupt Controller v2.0
+
+ - KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V2 ARM Generic Interrupt Controller v2.0
Only one VGIC instance may be instantiated through either this API or the
legacy KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP API. The created VGIC will act as the VM interrupt
Groups:
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ADDR
- Attributes:
+ Attributes:
+
KVM_VGIC_V2_ADDR_TYPE_DIST (rw, 64-bit)
Base address in the guest physical address space of the GIC distributor
register mappings. Only valid for KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V2.
Base address in the guest physical address space of the GIC virtual cpu
interface register mappings. Only valid for KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V2.
This address needs to be 4K aligned and the region covers 4 KByte.

Errors:
- -E2BIG: Address outside of addressable IPA range
- -EINVAL: Incorrectly aligned address
- -EEXIST: Address already configured
- -ENXIO: The group or attribute is unknown/unsupported for this device
