X86 defines a few possible interrupt delivery modes. With respect to boot/init time, mainly two interrupt delivery modes are possible. - PIC Mode: Legacy external 8259 compliant PIC interrupt controller - Virtual Wire Mode: Use lapic as virtual wire interrupt delivery mode ACPI and MPS spec compliant systems provide this information, but for OF based systems, it is by default set to PIC mode. In fact it is hardcoded to legacy PIC mode for OF based x86 systems with no option to choose the configuration between PIC mode & virtual wire mode. For this purpose, introduce a new boolean property for the lapic interrupt controller node which allows to configure it for virtual wire mode as well. Property name: 'intel,virtual-wire-mode' Type: Boolean If not present/not defined, interrupt delivery mode defaults to legacy PIC mode. If present/defined, interrupt delivery mode is set to virtual wire mode.

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.
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.
