Yeah cool. Looks like the gic interrupt code can also be initialized
from the init_common_hw or so. Of course the entry-macro.S still
needs a separate non-optimized handler for things to boot, I'll
update an earlier patch for that at some point.

> Looks good. After adding clock support stubs we need to compile almost all files except 'clock.c' so we may not need this completely. But any case, the patch looks cleaner.

OK
