I think you should have enough to go on by now for a new revision.  You
can include the two patches I just sent with the series '[PATCH v2]
Rework vgic_attr_regs_access' in the beginning of your series and then
base your work on that, assuming nobody else screams about this.

If you use that approach, and you address the missing soft pending state
etc. that Peter pointed out, then we should be ready for a detailed
review.

Looking forward to the next version.

Thanks,
