Interesting. No, that wasn't the intention, but I may have missed a key
detail (group 0 access traps to EL3 if SCR_EL3.FIQ==1). Can you have a
go at the following hack, just to narrow it down:
diff --git a/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c b/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c
index 5bb7bb22f1c1..f8ff43b1d4f8 100644

Let me know if that helps.
Thanks,
