The IMO and FMO bits must be set before restoring the various system
registers in GICv3. But I agreee that this looks pretty horrible.

The alternative is to split the bits we set in HCR_EL2 into two sets (VM
and trap control on one side, interrupt control on the other). This
would translate into two accesses to HCR_EL2, but it would look
nicer. I'll have a look.

Yes. But that doesn't mean we don't support the feature either. The case
is fairly slim, I agree, but it has been there since Day-1...
