LPI: Locality-specific Peripheral Interrupt

Peripheral -> { Interrupt Signal } -> Interrupt Controller -> { IRQ / FIQ } -> PE

Security model
==================

Secure Group 0: Interrupt for EL3 (Secure Firmware)

Secure Group 1: Interrupt for EL1 (Trusted OS)

==============

FIQ: Firmware/Secure manager level (EL3)

IRQ: OS level
