No, I'm not hacking something that is purely architecture specific for
the purpose of a bizarre integration quirk that should be handled by
the boot firmware, and not Linux.

Add whatever you want to the PCI glue code, limit this to arm64 (which
is the only architecture this can ever be used on, and the build
coverage argument really doesn't hold), but please leave the GIC code
alone.
