The list of GICv2 patches candidate for backporting are: #10, #11, #12, #13. For GICv3, see my comment below. > Given the lack of GICv3 hardware on the market today I'm in two minds > about the backports to the gicv3 functionality, especially given the > number of patches involved and the amount of stuff they change.

I agree that there is no hardware available, but someone may want to use the latest Xen release (currently 4.5) on their GICv3 internal board. IHMO, GICv3 was not a tech-preview on Xen 4.5. At least we never clearly say it was. If it's the case we should write-down on the features list. Regards, -- Julien Grall
