Grandhi, Sainath 7104f0a512 hv: Add support to add IR tables
Interrupt Remapping hardware in x86 can hold 64K entries with each entry
of size 16 bytes. So 256 entries occupy 4K. Adding a configuration for
developer to choose number of IR entries, in multiples of 256. ACRN does
not boot on platforms that does not support Interrupt Remapping and
Extended Interrupt Mode

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
“ACRN Device Model”.

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
