Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] IRQ affinity support in PLIC driver

This patchset primarily adds IRQ affinity support in PLIC driver and
other improvements.

The patchset gives mechanism for explicitly routing external interrupts to
particular CPUs using smp_affinity attribute of each Linux IRQs. Also, we
can now use IRQ balancer from kernel-space or user-space.

The patchset is tested on QEMU virt machine. It is based on Linux-4.20-rc4
and can be found at riscv_plic_irq_affinity_v2 branch of:
https://github.com/avpatel/linux.git

Changes since v1:
 - Removed few whitspace changes from PATCH1
 - Keep use of DEFINE_PER_CPU() as it is

Anup Patel (4):
  irqchip: sifive-plic: Pre-compute context hart base and enable base
  irqchip: sifive-plic: More flexible plic_irq_toggle()
  irqchip: sifive-plic: Differentiate between PLIC handler and context
  irqchip: sifive-plic: Implement irq_set_affinity() for SMP host
