ok, I looked at the code myself (not sure why I didn't do that in the
first place) and indeed we use a different but with similar results
macro to access the array from the C code.

This is just insane to me, and we don't have a comment on the data
structure saying "this is not stored the way you'd think it is".

Why can't we just do:

cpu_if->vgic_lr[3] = read_gicreg(ICH_LR3_EL2);
cpu_if->vgic_lr[2] = read_gicreg(ICH_LR2_EL2);
cpu_if->vgic_lr[1] = read_gicreg(ICH_LR1_EL2);
cpu_if->vgic_lr[0] = read_gicreg(ICH_LR0_EL2);

?
