As Peter said, this is not a configuration we're willing to support:
- we don't have a API to tell userspace emulation about interrupts
generated by the generic timers
- we could move the whole GIC emulation into the kernel (at the moment,
only the distributor is there), but that would be a complete nightmare
It really looks like a case of "let's drop a bunch of 64bit cores into
an existing SoC". Shame people can't read integration guidelines...
