Please use the non_coherent attribute to set the flag, instead of
using it as some sideband signalling. Not having this information
stored in the its_node structure makes it harder to debug.

We have an over-engineered quirk framework, and it should be put to a
good use.

It really feels that the flag should instead be communicated by the
base GIC driver, as it readily communicates the whole rdists structure
already.

I came up with the following alternative approach, which is as usual
completely untested. It is entirely based on the quirk infrastructure,
and doesn't touch the ACPI path at all.

Thanks,
