You can leave this info printing but see below.

If that's the only usage I wonder whether we really need all arm64
arch code/data, instead of parsing the SRAT in ITS code driver straight
away at probe, retrieve its node and be done with this.

I understand you replicated what x86/GICC does with APIC code, I would
like to understand though if we see a reason why (or better, why we keep
the relevant stashed data in arch/arm64 instead of the ITS driver).
it is been thought to do ITS sub table parse along with other SRAT
tables.  and use the mapping later when ITS devices are
initialised/probed.  IMO, it is more appropriate to keep all SRAT sub
table parsing to same function/place rather than moving to driver.
I do not follow. If it is just used in ITS driver code to set the ITS
affinity node what's the point of stashing data and adding callbacks
when you can simply parse the SRAT and be done with it ?

Or you have something on top of these patches that require ITS node
information and the calls you added ? If so post the code please.

Regardless, it's ITS specific information, ITS is managed through an
irqchip driver on ARM64 so even if you decided to stash the SRAT ITS
information it does not belong in arch/arm64 IMO, you can implement
acpi_numa_its_affinity_init() in the ITS driver but AFAICS for the time
being it would be just useless that's the point I am making.
Agreed. As long as there is only the ITS as a consumer of that
information, there is no need to pollute the rest of the kernel with it.
Once we have another consumer, we can look at making that code common.
In the meantime, keeping it in the ITS code is the right thing to do.

Thanks,

	M.
