Thanks for suggestion! Unfortunately, my test environment is
constrained, so I cannot test your branch as is. However, what I did in
a past was "hacking" kvm-unit-test to support gic along with kvmtool to
support testdev... I'm quite limited in bandwidth to look at this again,
but might find some time to come back to it in a future, given that gic
part is already done ;)

Cheers
