The IVPE scans the O/S CAM line of the XIVE thread interrupt contexts
to find a matching Notification Virtual Target (NVT) among the NVTs
dispatched on the HW processor threads.
On a real system, the thread interrupt contexts are updated by the
hypervisor when a Virtual Processor is scheduled to run on a HW
thread. Under QEMU, the model will emulate the same behavior by
hardwiring the NVT identifier in the thread context registers at
reset.
The NVT identifier used by the sPAPRXive model is the VCPU id. The END
identifier is also derived from the VCPU id. A set of helpers doing
the conversion between identifiers are provided for the hcalls
configuring the sources and the ENDs.
The model does not need a NVT table but the XiveRouter NVT operations
are provided to perform some extra checks in the routing algorithm.

sPAPRXive models the XIVE interrupt controller of the sPAPR machine.
It inherits from the XiveRouter and provisions storage for the routing
tables :
- Event Assignment Structure (EAS)
- Event Notification Descriptor (END)
The sPAPRXive model incorporates an internal XiveSource for the IPIs
and for the interrupts of the virtual devices of the guest. This model
is consistent with XIVE architecture which also incorporates an
internal IVSE for IPIs and accelerator interrupts in the IVRE
sub-engine.
The sPAPRXive model exports two memory regions, one for the ESB
trigger and management pages used to control the sources and one for
the TIMA pages. They are mapped by default at the addresses found on
chip 0 of a baremetal system. This is also consistent with the XIVE
architecture which defines a Virtualization Controller BAR for the
internal IVSE ESB pages and a Thread Managment BAR for the TIMA.
