Christoffer, I appreciate your review comments.

I think I was missing something. Yes, Marc mentioned in [1] about
his new changes in vgic3 series. But just after rereading it now, I
realized that he was suggesting to pick up his commits and add
them to this series. Is it my right understanding that they should
be [2] and [3] ... looking a bit closer to it, it seems that [4] is needed
as well. I am concerned that I don't understand all dependencies
and impact of those. Wondering about other way around. When vgic3
series introduced could we just back off above change and do it in
new right way?

[4] https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/kvmarm/2014-May/009473.html

Other question: I was testing all this directly on vanilla v3.15, should I
use some other armkvm specific integration branch to make sure it works
with all other in a queue armkvm changes.

In mean time I will try to pick up [4], [2], and [3] into v3.15 and see
how it goes.

Thanks,
Victor
