I am wondering if that approach isn't too involved.
EISR and ELRSR are 32-bit registers, and AFAIK the GIC is always LE on
the hardware side. So by claiming we have a 64bit register we introduce
too much hassle, right?
Wouldn't it be better to just fix the registers shortly before we
actually use them?
With my limited endianess experience: Wouldn't this patch solve the EISR
part (copy & pasted, so "for eyes only" ;-)

 }

(BTW: Wasn't that 64 bit optimization path the wrong way round here?)

Please bear with me if this is complete nonsense, could well twisted my
mind once too much ;-)

Still thinking about a clever solution for that strange sync_elrsr()
thing ...

Cheers,
Andre.
