Technically Aff3 is not RES0, even if the A3V bit is cleared.
The A3V bit just disables Aff3 on the CPU interface side, specifically
for ICC_SGI0R_EL1 & friends.
I think we agreed some time ago that we have to support read-as-written
for this register and don't forward this IRQ if the MPIDR is not valid,
as the spec demands.

Which would be fixed by making mask a u64?

Agreed on this.

Well, this would be a simple solution if we don't have to preserve bogus
MPIDRs.
The spec is a bit vague here:
"For each interrupt, a GIC implementation might support fewer than 256
values for an affinity level. In this case, some bits of the
corresponding affinity level field might be RO."

Not sure if this can apply to _all_ bits of an affinity level or not.

I think the key question is: do we need to preserve any MPIDR value
written into this register?

Cheers,
Andre.
