Future interrupt controller of M platform #65

Open henry-hsieh opened 2 years ago

henry-hsieh commented 2 years ago

In interrupt controller section of M platform, embedded systems are recommended to use PLIC, CLIC, or both as interrupt controller(s). However, APLIC have smaller memory map requirement than PLIC. Thus, I thought that APLIC is more suitable in embedded systems and may become an option for future interrupt controller of M platform.
