I can't remember where or if I saw any. If Allwinner ever released
any source code for the OpenRISC core we could actually verify it.

However the base address of this block, in addition to the register
offsets found in the driver for "allwinner,sun6i-a31-sc-nmi" do match
up with the sun4i irqchip. The question is if any of the other interrupt
lines are hooked up, and if yes, to what. A possibility would be that
it has all the interrupt lines in the SoC also hooked up, at the same
numbers as the GIC (minus 32). It would feed both the GIC and CPUS.
This is just an educated guess though.
