+one of:
+
+- ``INTR_TYPE_NS``: interrupt is meant to be consumed by the Non-secure world.

+- ``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1``: interrupt is meant to be consumed by Secure EL1.
+
+- ``INTR_TYPE_EL3``: interrupt is meant to be consumed by EL3.
+
+In case of ARM standard platforms using GIC, the implementation of the API
+writes to the GIC *Group Register* and *Group Modifier Register* (only GICv3) to
+assign the interrupt to the right group.
+
+For GICv3:
+
+- ``INTR_TYPE_NS`` maps to Group 1 interrupt.
+
+- ``INTR_TYPE_S_EL1`` maps to Secure Group 1 interrupt.
+
+- ``INTR_TYPE_EL3`` maps to Secure Group 0 interrupt.
+
+For GICv2:

+- When the build option ``GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3`` is set to ``0`` (the default),

+-  ``GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3``: Unlike GICv3, the GICv2 architecture doesn't have
