Hm. Which information does SmartFirmware provide about it? The only thing I
found was "8259-IRQ at f1000cb4". This is for the ISA interrupts?

Maybe it's because I'm just a beginner, but, are there any other interrupt
controllers (in the north bridge?)? And how do I know about their registers
and addresses?

Or how about the interrupts of PCI devices? Other OF implementations have
properties like "interrupt-map", "#interrupt-cells", "AAPL,interrupts", etc.
But in SmartFirmware there is nothing. How do I know which interrupt a
device was assigned to?

I had a look at the OpenBSD port. It definitely accesses the Marvell
registers directly, e.g. c78, c7c, cf8, cfc, 118, 11c. Base address of the
chip seems to be f1000000.
