It looks like we have broken firmware out there that wrongly advertises a GICv2 compatibility interface, despite the CPUs not being able to deal with it. To work around this, check that the CPU initialising KVM is actually able to switch to MMIO instead of system registers, and use that as a precondition to enable GICv2 compatibility in KVM. Note that the detection happens on a single CPU. If the firmware is lying *and* that the CPUs are asymetric, all hope is lost anyway.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
