I'm reckon the fixes tag should probably be either:
Fixes: f32c926651dcd168 ("irqchip/gic-v3: Handle pseudo-NMIs")
... or:
Fixes: 3f1f3234bc2db1c1 (" irqchip/gic-v3: Switch to PMR masking before calling IRQ handler")
... since the underlying issue is that gic_handle_irq() unmasks DAIF.I
and permits unintended nesting, even if that doesn't trigger a BUG() at
that point.
Otherwise, this makes sense to me:
