I guess I gave you a bunch of extra items in today's more thorough
review. :)

BTW, since IPIs are handled in the SBI I wouldn't bother with in-kernel
PLIC emulation unless you can demonstrate performance improvements (for
example due to irqfd). In fact, it may be more interesting to add
plumbing for userspace handling of selected SBI calls (in addition to
get/putchar, sbi_system_reset and sbi_hart_down look like good
candidates in SBI v0.2).

That's certainly okay with me.
