在ARM architecture系统中，除了有IRQ、FIQ，还有VIRQ、VFIQ

那么怎样才能产生VFIQ、VIRQ呢？

方法一: 给寄存器HCR_EL2的下列的比特置1,就能产生一个虚拟中断到PSTATE Masking
• VI = Setting this bit registers a vIRQ.
• VF = Setting this bit registers a vFIQ.
• VSE = Setting this bit registers a vSError

产生虚拟中断后，该中断处于pending状态

方法二：使用gic控制器产生一个虚拟中断
The hypervisor can map the virtual CPU interface into a VM, allowing software in that VM to communicate directly with the GIC

The diagram illustrates these steps:

1. The physical peripheral asserts its interrupt signal into the GIC.
2. The GIC generates a physical interrupt exception, either IRQ or FIQ, which gets routed to EL2 by
   the configuration of HCR_EL2.IMO/FMO. The hypervisor identifies the peripheral and
   determines that it has been assigned to a VM. It checks which vCPU the interrupt should be
   forwarded to.
3. The hypervisor configures the GIC to forward the physical interrupt as a virtual interrupt to the
   vCPU. The GIC will then assert the vIRQ or vFIQ signal, but the processor will ignore this signal
   while it is executing in EL2.
4. The hypervisor returns control to the vCPU.
5. Now that the processor is in the vCPU (EL0 or EL1), the virtual interrupt from the GIC can be
   taken. This virtual interrupt is subject to the PSTATE exception masks
