higher exception level to prevent execution in an UNKNOWN state.
+ For systems with a GICv3 interrupt controller:

+ ICC_SRE_EL3.Enable (bit 3) must be initialiased to 0b1.
+ ICC_SRE_EL3.SRE (bit 0) must be initialised to 0b1.

+ ICC_SRE_EL2.SRE (bit 0) must be initialised to 0b1.

The requirements described above for CPU mode, caches, MMUs, architected
timers, coherency and system registers apply to all CPUs. All CPUs must
enter the kernel in the same exception level.

+* ARM Generic Interrupt Controller, version 3
+
+AArch64 SMP cores are often associated with a GICv3, providing Private
+Peripheral Interrupts (PPI), Shared Peripheral Interrupts (SPI),
+Software Generated Interrupts (SGI), and Locality-specific Peripheral
+Interrupts (LPI).
+
+Main node required properties:
+
+- compatible : should at least contain "arm,gic-v3".
+- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
+ interrupt source. Must be a single cell with a value of at least 3.
+
+ The 1st cell is the interrupt type; 0 for SPI interrupts, 1 for PPI
+ interrupts. Other values are reserved for future use.
+
+ The 2nd cell contains the interrupt number for the interrupt type.
+ SPI interrupts are in the range [0-987]. PPI interrupts are in the
+ range [0-15].
+
+ The 3rd cell is the flags, encoded as follows:
+ bits[3:0] trigger type and level flags.
+ 1 = edge triggered
+ 4 = level triggered
+
+ Cells 4 and beyond are reserved for future use. When the 1st cell
+ has a value of 0 or 1, cells 4 and beyond act as padding, and may be
+ ignored. It is recommended that padding cells have a value of 0.
+
+- reg : Specifies base physical address(s) and size of the GIC
+ registers, in the following order:
+ - GIC Distributor interface (GICD)
+ - GIC Redistributors (GICR), one range per redistributor region
+ - GIC CPU interface (GICC)
+ - GIC Hypervisor interface (GICH)
+ - GIC Virtual CPU interface (GICV)
+
+ GICC, GICH and GICV are optional.
+
+- interrupts : Interrupt source of the VGIC maintenance interrupt.
+
+Optional
+
+- redistributor-stride : If using padding pages, specifies the stride
+ of consecutive redistributors. Must be a multiple of 64kB.
+
+- #redistributor-regions: The number of independent contiguous regions
+ occupied by the redistributors. Required if more than one such
+ region is present.
+
+Examples:
+
+ gic: interrupt-controller@2cf00000 {
+ compatible = "arm,gic-v3";
+ #interrupt-cells = <3>;
+ interrupt-controller;
+ reg = <0x0 0x2f000000 0 0x10000>, // GICD
