I don't think these changes are enough. For example, an interrupt
being switched from level to edge is likely to misbehave (how do you
distinguish the two?). If that's what the downstream driver does, then
it is terminally broken.

As I asked before, we need some actual specs, or at least someone to
paraphrase it for us. There are a number of QC folks on Cc, and I
expect them to chime in and explain how MPM works here.

What about kexec? We can't rely on this memory region to always be
0-initialised, nor do we know what that means.

Thanks,
