Again, I wonder if we might be better off converting GIC info (since
it's likely to be there on all systems) in the EFI boot wrapper into
FDT data when ACPI is provided.
Essentially, if we can describe:
* Memory
* Console uart (if one exists) for debug
* Timers
* Interrupts
(Possibly PCI host controllers too but I'm less sure that can be done
generically)
in the FDT stub, then we can keep a lot of the lowlevel init code common
instead of diverging. We can also get away from having to update both ACPI and
DT for GICv3, etc, reducing boilerplate code in the kernel to handle both.
If we have to add some properties to bring across some ACPI information we can
of course do so, hopefully it'll be a small amount.
