There is a number of cases where a kernel subsystem may want to
introspect the state of an interrupt at the irqchip level:
- When a peripheral is shared between virtual machines,
its interrupt state becomes part of the guest's state,
and must be switched accordingly. KVM on arm/arm64 requires
this for its guest-visible timer
- Some GPIO controllers seem to require peeking into the
interrupt controller they are connected to to report
their internal state
This seem to be a pattern that is common enough for the core code
to try and support this without too many horrible hacks. Introduce
a pair of accessors (irq_get_irqchip_state/irq_set_irqchip_state)
to retrieve the bits that can be of interest to another subsystem:
pending, active, and masked.
- irq_get_irqchip_state returns the state of the interrupt according
to a parameter set to IRQCHIP_STATE_PENDING, IRQCHIP_STATE_ACTIVE,
IRQCHIP_STATE_MASKED or IRQCHIP_STATE_LINE_LEVEL.
- irq_set_irqchip_state similarly sets the state of the interrupt.
