I'm not sure how you want to mimic what x86 does, given that we have
at least three different root interrupt controllers on arm64 (plus
a fourth coming up), all of which have access methods that are not
part of the CPU architecture, and that are shared with the 32bit
part.

Please wait until the merge window is over.
