Hi Suravee,
You may build a two level hierarchy irqdomains. Use the
utilities in this thread
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg374722.html to build an MSI
irqdomain to manage MSI controllers
in PCI devices. And build another irqdomain to manage SPI allocation
in GICv2.
That is: MSI irqdomain (program MSI registers) -->
GIV irqdomain (manage SPIs in GICv2 controller)

Gerry,
I try out your patch from the link above, and I have a couple
questions/issues.
1. In the drivers/pci/msi.c: msi_irq_domain_alloc_irqs(), it seems that
the hwirq comes from msi_get_hwirq(dev, msidesc). In GICv2m, hwirq for
MSI is fixed over a specific range. This might require arch-specific
callback.
2. In msi_domain_activate, why "if (!irq_data->chip_data)"?
3. In, msi_domain_alloc():
- There should be a way to specify other types of irq handler besides
the "handle_edge_irq". In case of GIC, it needs handle_fasteoi_irq.
- When calling irq_domain_set_hwirq_and_chip(), you are passing "(void
*)(long)i" for the "void *chip_data" parameter. What is this used for,
and where? Shouldn't this be pointing to arch-specific data structure?
- The code is calling irq_domain_alloc_irqs_parent before the loop,
which calls irq_domain_set_hwirq_and_chip() and __irq_set_handler.
Shouldn't the order be switched?
- Overall, it seems that msi_domain_alloc() could be quite different
across architectures. Would it be possible to declare this function as
weak, and allow arch to override (similar to arch_setup_msi_irq)?
Thanks,
Suravee
