Hrm, on A2 we could choose iirc. Well not DEC but EXT at least, I don't
remember about DBELL.

As for as the hardware goes we can choose on e500mc as well -- we just don't support it in KVM, because we can't distinguish between guest and host interrupts without routing the latter to critical, which is way too much of a pain for Linux (we did it in our standalone hypervisor, though).
