//! Architecture-specific APIs for the AxVisor hypervisor.
//!
//! This module provides APIs that are specific to certain CPU architectures.
//! Currently, it mainly contains AArch64 GIC (Generic Interrupt Controller)
//! related operations.
//!
//! # Supported Architectures
//!
//! - **AArch64**: GIC distributor and redistributor operations for virtual
//!   interrupt injection and GIC initialization.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! The API functions in this module are conditionally compiled based on the
//! target architecture. On non-AArch64 platforms, this module is essentially
//! empty.
//!
//! # Implementation
//!
//! To implement these APIs, use the [`api_impl`](crate::api_impl) attribute
//! macro on an impl block:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! struct ArchIfImpl;
//!
//! #[axvisor_api::api_impl]
//! impl axvisor_api::arch::ArchIf for ArchIfImpl {
//!     // Implement the required functions...
//! }
//! ```
