gfdt_add_interrupts()

Generate interrupts and interrupt-parent properties (ARM)

Synopsis:

#include <qvm/firmware.h>

void gfdt_add_interrupts(int node,
                         ...)

Arguments:

node: The offset of the FDT node for which the properties are being generated.
...: A NULL-terminated list of pointers to guest interrupt (guest_intr_t) structures.

Description:

This function generates interrupts and interrupt-parent properties and adds them to the FDT node specified in node.

The interrupts property is generated by walking the given list of pointers to guest interrupt structures and retrieving the interrupt data from each. The interrupt-parent property is set to the phandle (parent handle) property of the specified node.
