I'm not sure that I follow: This is the reverse operation
(unregistering the gisc). Can we rely on get_ipm() to do any fixup
later? Is that a problem for the caller?

Apologies if I sound confused (well, that's because I probably am);
this is hard to review without access to the hardware specification.
