Revisited Alexander's patches, I felt that the approach of if-DT-else-ACPI approach isn't necessary. More importantly this whole DT parsing in ./virt/kvm/arm can really be avoided. My opinions are:
- All DT-ACPI should happen in respective drivers. In this case, they
should be in clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c and irqchip/irq-gic* only. The driver will expose necessary info to KVM via public interfaces. 2. KVM doesn't have to care about DT/ACPI. Instead it only uses the info provided by the interface from device drivers.
I like this approach.
