As this > is a (very limited) subset of a vexpress A15, it seems to make some sense. Looking at arch/arm/boot/dts/vexpress-v2m-rs1.dtsi I don't think we provide anything which is on rs1 though. The Xen VM environment has only a gic (via a combination of the gic virtualisation mode for CPU regs and emulation for the distributor), the arch timers and xenbus (which is the s/w bus which Xen uses to discover its paravirtualised peripherals). Currently we provide a very simple output only emulation of UART0, simply to get the debug output from the decompresser, but we want that to go away not get baked in. Ian.
