RE: [Xen-devel] pvops-2.6.32 - Interrupt routing problem

["Zhang, Xiantao" <xiantao.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe we need allow dom0 to re-programme the first 15 GSIs to solve this issue. 
 And the root-cause is that the IRQ info(polarity&trigger mode) provided in MP 
table in some platforms is not always trusted, and system should re-programme 
it according to the info parsed from ACPI.  If the platform provide correct 
info in MP table, the issue should be gone.   Attached a proposed patch, could 
you have a try to see whether it can fix your issue.
