It'd be nice to quote the part of the spec (5.3.19).

Previous contributions with the same email address had the name
"Nianyao Tang" associated with it. Was it wrong in the past? Or is the
above wrong?

This is a bit ugly. We already have a whole block dedicated to
handling VMAPP with V=0 and GICv4.1, and it'd be more readable to keep
all that code together. Something like the untested patch below.

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
