+MPIC interrupt controller
+=========================
+
+Device types supported:
+  KVM_DEV_TYPE_FSL_MPIC_20     Freescale MPIC v2.0
+  KVM_DEV_TYPE_FSL_MPIC_42     Freescale MPIC v4.2
+
+Only one MPIC instance, of any type, may be instantiated.  The created
+MPIC will act as the system interrupt controller, connecting to each
+vcpu's interrupt inputs.
+
+Groups:
+  KVM_DEV_MPIC_GRP_MISC
+  Attributes:
+    KVM_DEV_MPIC_BASE_ADDR (rw, 64-bit)
+      Base address of the 256 KiB MPIC register space.  Must be
+      naturally aligned.  A value of zero disables the mapping.
+      Reset value is zero.
+
+  KVM_DEV_MPIC_GRP_REGISTER (rw, 32-bit)
+    Access an MPIC register, as if the access were made from the guest.
+    "attr" is the byte offset into the MPIC register space.  Accesses
+    must be 4-byte aligned.
+
+    MSIs may be signaled by using this attribute group to write
+    to the relevant MSIIR.
+
+  KVM_DEV_MPIC_GRP_IRQ_ACTIVE (rw, 32-bit)
+    IRQ input line for each standard openpic source.  0 is inactive and 1
+    is active, regardless of interrupt sense.
+
+    For edge-triggered interrupts:  Writing 1 is considered an activating
+    edge, and writing 0 is ignored.  Reading returns 1 if a previously
+    signaled edge has not been acknowledged, and 0 otherwise.
+
+    "attr" is the IRQ number.  IRQ numbers for standard sources are the
+    byte offset of the relevant IVPR from EIVPR0, divided by 32.
+
+IRQ Routing:
+
+  The MPIC emulation supports IRQ routing. Only a single MPIC device can
+  be instantiated. Once that device has been created, it's available as
+  irqchip id 0.
+
+  This irqchip 0 has 256 interrupt pins, which expose the interrupts in
+  the main array of interrupt sources (a.k.a. "SRC" interrupts).
+
+  The numbering is the same as the MPIC device tree binding -- based on
+  the register offset from the beginning of the sources array, without
+  regard to any subdivisions in chip documentation such as "internal"
+  or "external" interrupts.
+
+  Access to non-SRC interrupts is not implemented through IRQ routing mechanisms.
