Yes, we should, if anyone is crazy enough to use ACPI :)

Why would split EOI/deactivate not be available on GICv3, actually?  It
looks like this is not supported unless you have EL2, but I can't seem
to find anything in the spec for this, and KVM should support
EOI/deactivate for GICv3 guests I think.  Am I missing something?

Assuming I'm wrong about GICv3, which I probably am, how does this look
(on top of the posted patch):
