+=======================================
+IRQ chip model (hierarchy) of LoongArch
+=======================================
+
+Currently, LoongArch based processors (e.g. Loongson-3A5000) can only work together
+with LS7A chipsets. The irq chips in LoongArch computers include CPUINTC (CPU Core
+Interrupt Controller), LIOINTC (Legacy I/O Interrupt Controller), EIOINTC (Extended
+I/O Interrupt Controller), HTVECINTC (Hyper-Transport Vector Interrupt Controller),
+PCH-PIC (Main Interrupt Controller in LS7A chipset), PCH-LPC (LPC Interrupt Controller
+in LS7A chipset) and PCH-MSI (MSI Interrupt Controller).
+
+CPUINTC is a per-core controller (in CPU), LIOINTC/EIOINTC/HTVECINTC are per-package
+controllers (in CPU), while PCH-PIC/PCH-LPC/PCH-MSI are controllers out of CPU (i.e.,
+in chipsets). These controllers (in other words, irqchips) are linked in a hierarchy,
+and there are two models of hierarchy (legacy model and extended model).
+
+Legacy IRQ model
+================
+
+In this model, IPI (Inter-Processor Interrupt) and CPU Local Timer interrupt go
+to CPUINTC directly, CPU UARTS interrupts go to LIOINTC, while all other devices
+interrupts go to PCH-PIC/PCH-LPC/PCH-MSI and gathered by HTVECINTC, and then go
+to LIOINTC, and then CPUINTC::
