ok, is the other scenario with secure side messing with the LRs not
still potentially possible though?  (someone impementing a misguided
power management solution for example)

I have some optimization patches to GICv2 lying around that will
eventually use vgic_v2_write_lr directly, but I don't mind combining it
now and splitting it later when introducting those patches if you
prefer?
