How comes? Are only PPIs affected? When you say "some PPIs", can you be
more specific?

Beware, the top 2 bits are reserved on GICv1, and shouldn't be messed with.

[adding Mark on Cc, so he can comment on the DT parts]

Where's the DT documentation update? Also, as this is an
implementation-specific quirk, you should consider using a separate
compatible string and move the handling of this issue into some X-Gene
specific code.
