What about including those lines (except the last one) in arm-gic-v3.h
then? In fact they describe a property of an _GICv3_ LR, even if it is
only a compatibility feature.
That would be cleaner IMHO than repeating the definitions here in a .c
file and we would automatically get the right definitions by just
including arm-gic-v3.h.

This just compiled fine for me for both the old and new VGIC.
I can send the patch (needs to be a separate patch because it touches
the old VGIC as well) if you agree on that idea.

Cheers,
Andre.
