Why not include/linux/gunyah.h?  Why asm-generic?  This is not an
architecture.


My idea here is to differentiate between code that interacts with hypercalls and code that uses the abstractions provided on top of those hypercalls. include/asm-generic/gunyah.h contains architecture-independent definitions for hypercalls. Hypercalls are architecture-specific.

For instance, I wanted to avoid a header file that mixes the definitions for the message-queue mailbox with the hypercall definitions that the message-queue mailbox driver itself uses.

I can put it all in include/linux/gunyah.h and delineate with some clear comments, but I initially felt it would be better to have separate header file.

Thanks,
Elliot
