I think you just need to clarify the comment above the function or let
the code speak for itself.

didn't realize it was an architecturally allowed option to not support
Aff3, in that case it's not worth the bother at this point.

oh, now it's finally coming back together for me, I think I
misunderstodd your point from last rounds of review because I didn't
realize that GICD_IROUTER was defined as 0x6000 (which I actually think
is a bit backwards, but this is not the place or time).

in that case, len should be 0x1ee0:

 $ printf '0x%x\n' $(( (0x7fd8 + 8) - 0x6100 ))

got it now, yes, the code is correct.

Section 5.4.1 talks about the pages within a single re-distributor having
to be contiguous, not all the re-deistributor regions having to be

contiguous, right?

hmmm, I'm not a fan of merging code with this kind of a comment in it,
because it looks scary, and I dont' really understand the problem from
just reading the comment, so something needs to be done here.
