[PATCH v3 0/6] GICv3: add 32bit compatibility

[Jean-Philippe Brucker]

Hi,

This series adds 32bit support to the GICv3 driver. Only SGIs, PPIs and
SPIs support is present, no ITS.
Currently, the main targets for those patches are 32bit guests running under
KVM. They can now use affinity routing and theoretically have a lot more than
8 CPUs. During my tests, I was able to use 16 virtual CPUs on an AEM model.

We don't support 32bit hosts with GICv3 at the moment. I added a patch to allow
building a host when CONFIG_ARM_GIC_V3 enabled, as pointed out by Vladimir in
the last series. When attempting to run such host with a device-tree that
declares GICv3, KVM will refuse to start, and throw a -ENODEV error.

Some time has passed since last series, but I am now available full-time to act
on reviews and comments.

Changes since v2 [2]:
- rebased on 4.3-rc3,
- add a sixth patch to handle build with CONFIG_KVM + CONFIG_ARM_GIC_V3.

Changes since v1 [1]:
- fix the mistakes pointed out on the list,
- add a patch to select ARM_GIC_V3 under ARCH_VIRT.

Cheers,
Jean
