Subject: [PATCH v2 05/18] KVM: arm64: vgic: Constify struct irq_ops usage

From: Marc Zyngier <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 10:19:36 +0100

vgic-v5 has introduced much more prevalent usage of the struct
irq_ops mechanism.

In the process, it becomes evident that suffers from two related
problems:

- it contains flags, rather than only callbacks
- it is mutable, because we need to update the above flags

Swap the flags for a helper retrieving the flags, and make all
irq_ops const, something that is slightly satisfying.
