[coreboot] APIC and lspci

[Hilbert Tu(杜睿哲_Pegatron)]

Hi Nico,

I think there is no MSI mode in my system.
In my case, device 00:14.0 is SATA controller and as you said, there is likely a 1 to 1 mapping, so I expect it should maps to one of IRQ16-23 for IOxAPIC. But from lspci, it is IRQ28 and I want to know if this is changed in Coreboot or in kernel and where to modify it. Another is my MAC (02:00.0) which connects to Denverton through PCI-e, the lspci's output is "pin A routed to IRQ 0". Why IRQ0 is being used? Anything I forgot to configure?  I'll check the BWG, but I have to admit I am too "fresh" to understand it :p. If you know something, please advise. Thanks.

there is actually a third case, MSI interrupts. It's hard to tell if
that is used without seeing the lspci output. MSIs are configured by
the OS, not coreboot.

In APIC mode, there is likely a 1:1 mapping of the PIRQ LNK* to APIC
IRQs; e.g. LNKA -> 16, LNKB -> 17, ..., LNKH -> 23 (this usually can't
be changed, but I don't know for sure if that is the case for Denver-
ton). It should be documented in the BIOS Writer's Guide for your SoC.
