Hi Thomas, Jason,

Here's the pull request for the GIC updates I stashed over the past
few weeks. Only real new feature is the 32bit support from
Jean-Philippe, the rest is all about dealing with errata and firmware.

Please pull!

Thanks,

	M.

  arm/arm64: KVM: Only allow 64bit hosts to build VGICv3 (2015-10-09 15:35:11 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
GIC updates for Linux 4.4:

- Enable basic GICv3 support on 32bit ARM (mostly for running VMs with
  more than 8 virtual CPUs)
- arm64 changes to deal with firmware limitations that forces a GICv3
  to be used as a GICv2
- A GICv2m erratum workaround on Applied Micro X-Gene2

----------------------------------------------------------------
Duc Dang (1):
      irqchip/gic-v2m: Add workaround for APM X-Gene GICv2m erratum

Jean-Philippe Brucker (6):
      irqchip/gic-v3: Refactor the arm64 specific parts
      irqchip/gic-v3: Change unsigned types for AArch32 compatibility
      irqchip/gic-v3: Specialize readq and writeq accesses
      ARM: add 32bit support to GICv3
      ARM: virt: select ARM_GIC_V3
      arm/arm64: KVM: Only allow 64bit hosts to build VGICv3

Marc Zyngier (5):
      arm64: el2_setup: Make sure ICC_SRE_EL2.SRE sticks before using GICv3 sysregs
      irqchip/gic-v3: Make gic_enable_sre an inline function
      arm64: cpufeatures: Check ICC_EL1_SRE.SRE before enabling ARM64_HAS_SYSREG_GIC_CPUIF
      irqchip/gic: Warn if GICv3 system registers are enabled
      arm64: Update booting requirements for GICv3 in GICv2 mode
