We currently initialize the arch timer IRQ numbers from the reset code, presumably because we once intended to model multiple CPU or SoC types from within the kernel and have hard-coded reset values in the reset code. As we are moving towards userspace being in charge of more fine-grained CPU emulation and stitching together the pieces needed to emulate a particular type of CPU, we should no longer have a tight coupling between resetting a VCPU and setting IRQ numbers. Therefore, move the logic to define and use the default IRQ numbers to the timer code and set the IRQ number immediately when creating the VCPU.

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.
