Hi Marc

Thanks for the review.

BTW you *didn't* say "this code is pointless and I hate it"...

Does that mean I should be looking at adding similar code for GICv3+? I
wanted to guage reactions to this sort of diagnostics before getting
carried away!

Will do both.

As presented the code relies on the RAZ/WI property of reserved
registers to avoid issues on GICv1; it does not report anything if there
appear to be know working SGIs on the assumption we are actually running
on a GICv1.

You'd prefer an explicit version check?

Agreed. Can get rid of these.

Good point. Will simplify.


Daniel.
