To be completely blunt, this is a bit out of your hands. The HW exists
(it is part of the Cortex-A72 core), and it should be described. If it
doesn't work for one reason or another, then this is a defect and we
should treat it as such.

Also, you do describe the maintenance interrupt, whose sole purpose is
to support virtualization.

Thanks,
