I don't think zeroing Aff3 is the right move, as the spec doesn't say
that Aff3 should be ignored in a write to ICC_SGI1R. On the other hand,
the spec says (in the context of the target list): "If a bit is 1 and
the bit does not correspond to a valid target PE, the bit must be
ignored by the Distributor".
This makes me think that, unless ICC_SGI1R.IMR is set, we should simply
ignore that SGI because there is no way we can actually deliver it.
Could you cook a small patch that would go on top of this series?
Thanks,
M.
