Hello everyone! ### Background Unlike the Linux kernel, which has supported extended shared peripheral interrupts (eSPIs) since 2019 [1], Xen currently lacks support for this interrupt range. For SoCs with GICv3.1+, this feature may be essential because critical devices, such as consoles required for booting Xen itself, may rely on eSPIs. Additionally, these platforms require eSPI support for fully functional domains, as any device using eSPIs cannot currently be used with Xen setups. Without eSPI support, Xen cannot run properly on these platforms, significantly limiting its usability on modern ARM hardware. This patch series adds support for the extended shared peripheral interrupt (eSPI) range (INTIDs 4096-5119 [2](ranges of INTIDs)) for Xen and guest domains. The implementation uses a generic approach to handle eSPIs, similar to regular SPIs, while maintaining compatibility with the existing SPI range. Functionality remains unchanged for setups that do not require eSPIs. The series includes: 1) General refactoring of common IRQ operations with GIC registers to improve code readability, simplify further maintenance and prepare the key functions for eSPI implementation. 2) Introducing a new Kconfig option (default y) to enable or disable eSPI support. Disabling this option prevents unnecessary resource allocation for setups that do not require eSPIs. 3) Adding additional resources to store required information and operate with up to 1024 interrupts from eSPI range. 4) Adjusting assertions and checks to pass verification for INTIDs in the eSPI range. 5) Configuration of eSPI-specific registers during GIC initialization for systems with GICv3.1+ hardware. 6) Enables eSPI MMIO emulation for vGIC, allowing guest domains to access and operate within the eSPI's INTIDs.
