No tail comments please.

We should neither use irq_default_domain nor have an
ipi_default_domain.

OK though I understood that you were OK with using the irq_default_domain.

This means that arch code must parse the DT for an IPI domain. I think I've seen arch code using the root FDT to search for a specific node. I'll try to do something similar to search for an IPI domain.

I'm having an issue here. I made the arch code look for an IPI domain but we have some platforms on MIPS that don't support device tree. I can't find how I can go away with that without using irq_default_domain.

Also irq_default_domain is understandably only visible within irqdomain code, so I can't make the arch code fallback to passing irq_default_domain if the platform doesn't support DT.

Are you OK with keeping this in irq_reserve_ipi()? Alternatively I could modify irq_find_host(), which I'm using to find the IPI domain, return irq_default_domain() if the passed node is NULL.

Or maybe there's a better option I couldn't think of?

I think I can fix this in the GIC driver by using my own irq_domain->ops->match() function to ignore when of_node is NULL to cope with platforms without DT.

Sorry for the noise.

Thanks,
Qais
