... in order to also deny Dom0 access through the alias ports. Without
this it is only giving the impression of denying access to both PICs.
Unlike for CMOS/RTC, do detection very early, to avoid disturbing normal
operation later on.

Like for CMOS/RTC a fundamental assumption of the probing is that reads
from the probed alias port won't have side effects in case it does not
alias the respective PIC's one.

v2: Use new command line option. s/pic/8252A/. Re-base over new earlier
    patch. Use ISOLATE_LSB().

Hi,

coming back to this patch, which I believe didn't receive much feedback 
and thus wasn't committed, for a reason:

Here asm/setup is included, which provides the declaration for init_IRQ, 
defined below in the file

which is defined here. This patch would, among other things, address a 
MISRA C Rule 8.4 violation ("A compatible declaration shall be visible 
when an object or function with external linkage is defined"). I did 
send a patch concerned only with the MISRA violation, but correctly it 
was pointed out that this one was doing that and more. Perhaps someone 
can have a look at this?

Code-wise

I appreciate what Jan is trying to achieve.  I also share Roger's 
concern about reading IO ports since we don't know what is there.

I also don't have a good alternative to suggest...

Regards,
Jason
