    ARM: 8150/3: fiq: Replace default FIQ handler · c0e7f7ee
    Daniel Thompson authored
    
    
    This patch introduces a new default FIQ handler that is structured in a
    similar way to the existing ARM exception handler and result in the FIQ
    being handled by C code running on the SVC stack (despite this code run
    in the FIQ handler is subject to severe limitations with respect to
    locking making normal interaction with the kernel impossible).
    
    This default handler allows concepts that on x86 would be handled using
    NMIs to be realized on ARM.

        This patch is a near complete re-write of a patch originally
        provided by Anton Vorontsov. Today only a couple of small fragments
        survive, however without Anton's work to build from this patch would
        not exist. Thanks also to Russell King for spoonfeeding me a variety
        of fixes during the review cycle.
