Re: [PATCH HACK] powerpc: quick hack to get a functional eHEA with hardirq preemption, eHCA is close

[Jan-Bernd Themann]

Hi,

I think these are the "functional" changes that need to be included in
the ibmebus driver. We'll add a RT flag in the final version to enable
these changes only for RT-Linux for now. 
Ben, can you / your team look into the implementation
of the set_irq_type functionality needed for XICS?

Regards,
Jan-Bernd & Christoph
