Well, as for actual hardware, I read a bit more about it and in SAL 3.2.4 ITV isn't mentioned, and so I guess the initial value is platform dependent. Clearly hardware sets it masked, else the code wouldn't work. But I don't think this code need bother checking? It runs on the boot processor before anything else is happening, and the interrupt is correctly setup (disabled) when it needs to be for this CPU and others in cpu_init(). -i
