[ Upstream commit 7bf8b16d1b60419c865e423b907a05f413745b3e ] The GIC supports running in External Interrupt Controller (EIC) mode, and will signal this via cpu_has_veic if enabled in hardware. Currently the generic kernel will panic if cpu_has_veic is set - but the GIC can legitimately set this flag if either configured to boot in EIC mode, or if the GIC driver enables this mode. Make the kernel not panic in this case, and instead just check if the GIC is present. If so, use it's CPU local interrupt routing functions. If an EIC is present, but it is not the GIC, then the kernel does not know how to get the VIRQ for the CPU local interrupts and should panic. Support for alternative EICs being present is needed here for the generic kernel to support them.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
