Which ThunderX? TX2 (at least the incarnation I used in the past) wasn't able
to correctly deal with priorities.

I tried it with ThunderX CN8890.
If you tell me steps to reproduce the problem of TX2, I will
investigate it with TX as well.

PMR_EL1 reporting fantasy values, non-uniform priority support across
the interrupt classes, and generally prone to lockups. The original TX
is a very different machine though (TX 1 and 2 only share the engraving
of the manufacturer on the heat-spreader).
