+ * gic_irq_lock_cluster() - Lock redirect block access to IRQ's cluster
+ * @d: struct irq_data corresponding to the interrupt we're interested in
+ *
+ * Locks redirect register block access to the global register block of the GIC
+ * within the remote cluster that the IRQ corresponding to @d is affine to,
+ * returning true when this redirect block setup & locking has been performed.
+ *
+ * If @d is affine to the local cluster then no locking is performed and this
+ * function will return false, indicating to the caller that it should access
+ * the local clusters registers without the overhead of indirection through the
+ * redirect block.
+ *
+ * In summary, if this function returns true then the caller should access GIC
+ * registers using redirect register block accessors & then call
+ * mips_cm_unlock_other() when done. If this function returns false then the
+ * caller should trivially access GIC registers in the local cluster.
+ *
+ * Returns true if locking performed, else false.
