@@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ The RISC-V supervisor ISA manual specifies three interrupt sources that are
attached to every HLIC: software interrupts, the timer interrupt, and external
interrupts. Software interrupts are used to send IPIs between cores. The
timer interrupt comes from an architecturally mandated real-time timer that is

interrupts connect all other device interrupts to the HLIC, which are routed
