title: Intel Local Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (LAPIC)

description: |
Intel's Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) is a
family of interrupt controllers. The APIC is a split
architecture design, with a local component (LAPIC) integrated
into the processor itself and an external I/O APIC. Local APIC
(lapic) receives interrupts from the processor's interrupt pins,
from internal sources and from an external I/O APIC (ioapic).
And it sends these to the processor core for handling.
See [1] Chapter 8 for more details.
Many of the Intel's generic devices like hpet, ioapic, lapic have
the ce4100 name in their compatible property names because they
first appeared in CE4100 SoC.
This schema defines bindings for local APIC interrupt controller.

description: Intel defines a few possible interrupt delivery
modes. With respect to boot/init time, mainly two interrupt
delivery modes are possible.
PIC Mode - Legacy external 8259 compliant PIC interrupt controller.
Virtual Wire Mode - use lapic as virtual wire interrupt delivery mode.
For ACPI or MPS spec compliant systems, it is figured out by some read
only bit field/s available in their respective defined data structures.
For OF based systems, it is by default set to PIC mode.
But if this optional boolean property is set, then the interrupt delivery
mode is configured to virtual wire compatibility mode.
