genirq: Add mechanism to multiplex a single HW IPI
All RISC-V platforms have a single HW IPI provided by the INTC local interrupt controller. The HW method to trigger INTC IPI can be through external irqchip (e.g. RISC-V AIA), through platform specific device (e.g. SiFive CLINT timer), or through firmware (e.g. SBI IPI call). To support multiple IPIs on RISC-V, add a generic IPI multiplexing mechanism which help us create multiple virtual IPIs using a single HW IPI. This generic IPI multiplexing is inspired by the Apple AIC irqchip driver and it is shared by various RISC-V irqchip drivers.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
