   the kernel image will be entered must be initialised by software at a
   higher exception level to prevent execution in an UNKNOWN state.
 
+  For systems with a GICv3 interrupt controller:
+  - If EL3 is present:
+    ICC_SRE_EL3.Enable (bit 3) must be initialiased to 0b1.
+    ICC_SRE_EL3.SRE (bit 0) must be initialised to 0b1.
+  - If the kernel is entered at EL1:
+    ICC.SRE_EL2.Enable (bit 3) must be initialised to 0b1
+    ICC_SRE_EL2.SRE (bit 0) must be initialised to 0b1.

 The requirements described above for CPU mode, caches, MMUs, architected
 timers, coherency and system registers apply to all CPUs.  All CPUs must
 enter the kernel in the same exception level.
