I'm going to slightly backpedal on that one:

When running in non-secure mode, you can reconfigure secure interrupts
(for obvious reasons). But you don't know which mode you're running in
either. A typical example is the arch timer, which requests both secure
and non-secure interrupts, because we cannot know which side of the CPU
we're running on. In the non-secure case, we end-up with a splat that
is rather undeserved.

So I'm tempted to tone down the splat in the PPI case like this:


Thoughts?

Do you mean 'cannot'?

Yes seems sensible.

That is fine with me. Do you want me to re-spin or do you want to apply
your change on top? However, before I re-spin would like to get your
thoughts on patches 13-17.

I can squash this into your own patch if you're OK with it. I'll reply
to your other patches shortly, as I have a number of comments there.
