But we actually share a lot of functions like all the PENDING, ENABLED,
ACTIVE, PRIORITY, IGROUP register handlers. So we would need to export
them in order to be used by both the v2 and v3 emulation. This is what I
did for the existing v3 emulation, but I didn't like it very much.
Now we keep all of this private and static, both the handler functions
and the structures declaring the respective register layout.
I found this more appropriate now that v2 and v3 emulation are developed
hand in hand.
I see that the file gets pretty big, but it's still only roughly half
the size of the old vgic.c and also smaller than the combined old
vgic-v2-emul.c and vgic-v3-emul.c.

So I guess those 37K are just the price we need to pay for the beast
that the GIC actually is.

Cheers,
Andre.
