Subject: [PATCH 0/6] RISC-V IPI Improvements

This series aims to improve IPI support in Linux RISC-V in following ways:
 1) Treat IPIs as normal per-CPU interrupts instead of having custom RISC-V
    specific hooks. This also makes Linux RISC-V IPI support aligned with
    other architectures.
 2) Remote TLB flushes and icache flushes should prefer local IPIs instead
    of SBI calls whenever we have specialized hardware (such as RISC-V AIA
    IMSIC and RISC-V ACLINT) which allows S-mode software to directly inject
    IPIs without any assistance from M-mode runtime firmware.

These patches were already part of the "Linux RISC-V ACLINT Support" series
but this now a separate series so that it can be merged independently of
the "Linux RISC-V ACLINT Support" series.
(Refer, https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211007123632.697666-1-anup.patel@wdc.com/)

These patches are also a preparatory patches for the up-coming:
 1) Linux RISC-V ACLINT support
 2) Linux RISC-V AIA support
 3) KVM RISC-V TLB flush improvements

These patches can also be found in riscv_ipi_imp_v1 branch at:
https://github.com/avpatel/linux.git

Anup Patel (6):
  RISC-V: Clear SIP bit only when using SBI IPI operations
  irqchip/riscv-intc: Set intc domain as the default host
  RISC-V: Treat IPIs as normal Linux IRQs
  RISC-V: Allow marking IPIs as suitable for remote FENCEs
  RISC-V: Use IPIs for remote TLB flush when possible
  RISC-V: Use IPIs for remote icache flush when possible
