[PATCH 00/18] arm64: GICv3 support

GICv3 is the base for a new generation of interrupt controllers
designed to overcome some of the most glaring limitations of GICv2.

Some of the features are:
- Support for more than 8 CPUs (a lot more...)
- System registers for CPU interface access (GICC, GICV, GICH)
- Message based interrupts

This patch series currently support:
- Affinity Routing
- System Registers
- Non-Secure Group-1 interrupts only
- KVM support (GICv3 host, GICv2 guest)

What is *not yet* supported in this series:
- LPI/ITS/MSI (patches are available in the below branch,
  though still in development)
- KVM GICv3 guest support (requires GICv3 distributor emulation)
- Any form of power management
- 32bit systems

To be built, this code requires a fairly recent compiler/binutils
combo. Linaro 13.06 seems to do the trick. This has been tested on the
ARM FVP model, with non-regressions run on a VExpress TC-2.

The code is also available at the following location:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms.git kvm-arm64/gicv3
