Move a few constants defined by libxl_arm.c to

guest related #defines such as GUEST_GICD_BASE and GUEST_VPL011_SPI.
Also, this way they can be reused by hypervisor code.
All variables moved to arch-arm.h should be prefixed with GUEST_* to
avoid
clash with the rest of Xen.
I'll do.

Those defines have nothing to do with the guest itself. They are
currently
define in Xen without the DT_ prefix.
Sounds like we want to get rid of the DT_IRQ_TYPE_* definitions
completely, move the IRQ_TYPE_* definitions from device_tree.h to here,
and start using them in tools/libxl/libxl_arm.c (which involves a
renaming s/DT_IRQ_TYPE/IRQ_TYPE/g).
Is that what you had in mind?
Even if DT is Arm only today, the DT code is in common code and therefore
header device_tree.h should contain every thing necessary to use a DT.
If we still want to share constant with libxl then I would prefer to
introduce
a new header (similar to acpi/acconfig.h) that provide all the common
values.
OK, I can do that. I'll introduce a new header file.
Note that the hypervisor one don't have the DT_ prefix because they are
use to
describe IRQ for both DT and ACPI in Xen. It is not that nice, we might
want
to introduce aliases in that case. So we keep DT_* in libxl.
With the new header file we'll be able to reuse the same #defines in
libxl and xen. I think it would be nicer to avoid the aliases and just
use the regular definitions in libxl too? Changing libxl to use
IRQ_TYPE_ directly only requires a small patch.
I really don't want that. As I explained, IRQ_TYPE have been conveniently
chosen to avoid converting DT value to IRQ_TYPE. They are not meant to be use
like that libxl (or any header publicly shared) and will provide more
confusion that anything for other bits than the hypervisor.
I don't follow the explanation. Why would they be confusing in public
headers? What is the important difference between DT_IRQ_TYPE_* and
IRQ_TYPE_* that we are trying to keep? Why IRQ_TYPE_* shouldn't be used
by libxl?
Because IRQ_TYPE_* does not have the prefix DT_ in them. There are no
way from the name to say this is for DT only and might be misused
outside of the hypervisor.
IRQ_TYPE_* used to have the prefix DT_ but it was dropped as in the
hypervisor they are used to represent irq type for both ACPI and DT. If
we end up to expose those values to libxl then we should define
DT_IRQ_TYPE_* and provide aliases for IRQ_TYPE_.
