The latter would be true if a bootrom exploit or any equivalent means
of booting Linux would be found for A12 (M1 is family with A14 for context).

We can think of 4 feature levels, I think:

A7-A10: 'nothing fancy'
A11: fast_ipi (broken currently, need to investigate)
A12: A11 + UNCORE2 regs
M1+: A12 + EL2

We *could* squash the A12-A14 case into M1, but then if a means of booting
Linux appears, this would have to be untangled again..

This func accesses impl-defined regs that are not present on earlier SoCs.

Yeah, makes sense..

`if (!is_kernel_in_hyp_mode()) {` always evaluates to true, since there's
no EL2. Hence, accessing AIC_TMR_HV_{VIRT,PHYS} makes this return ENOENT,
which means timer can't probe and that's no bueno.

In this peculiar case, enabling support means stripping away the so-called
'features', otherwise the interrupt controller won't budge.
