Thanks for noticing me and sorry for that:
You are right, the access to the git repositories on linux-arm.org via
git does not work anymore for some reason. While this is being fixed, I
made a branch on github:
https://github.com/apritzel/linux.git

Pull the kvm-gicv3/v6 branch from there.

Cheers,
Andre.
