Thanks. I'll let Marc decide (he's back next week) as I go on holiday
soon. Ideally it should go into -next and upstream together with the
rest of the GICv3 patches but I (or Will if I'm way) am happy to take
the patch once GICv3 hits mainline (I would like to avoid merging the
irqchip tree into the arm64 tree just to be able to apply this fix).
