The interrupt controller inside the Wii's Hollywood chip is connected to two masters, the "Broadway" PowerPC and the "Starlet" ARM926, each with their own interrupt status and mask registers. When booting the Wii with mini[1], interrupts from the SD card controller (IRQ 7) are handled by the ARM, because mini provides SD access over IPC. Linux however can't currently use or disable this IPC service, so both sides try to handle IRQ 7 without coordination. Let's instead make sure that all interrupts that are unmasked on the PPC side are masked on the ARM side; this will also make sure that Linux can properly talk to the SD card controller (and potentially other devices). If access to a device through IPC is desired in the future, interrupts from that device should not be handled by Linux directly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
