Add a new delivery type:
val[63:56] == 3: val[15:8] is flag: val[7:0] is a PPI.
To the flag, bit 0 stands the interrupt mode is edge(1) or level(0) and
bit 1 stands the interrupt polarity is active low(1) or high(0).

Andrew, I think that this patch is correct. Looking back at your
previous comment (http://marc.info/?l=devicetree&m=144804014214262&w=2),
is it possible that you were confused by enum callback_via_type, which
is internal to Xen and offset'ed by 1 compared to the described values
in xen/include/public/hvm/params.h?

If not, and indeed somebody introduced one more field but failed to
document it, then I suggest she sends a patch to fix the issue as soon
as possible.
I was indeed confused - the ABI is utterly mad.
All right. In that case, Shannon, you can add my

However, this change does need rebasing over c/s ca5c54b, which was the
result of the original discussion.
c/s ca5c54b is for Xen, while this is a Linux patch (Linux has its own
set of Xen headers).
All ABI changes need to happen in the Xen public headers first.  This
patch cannot be accepted yet.
