I'm seeing boot failures on a range of physical arm64 platforms in
today's -next.  Turning on earlycon it looks like we're getting bad
pointer dereferences during KVM initialisation:

(with other platforms I've got earlycon logs showing basically the same
thing).  I have some bisects but they seem to have been confused by
earlier driver core issues, I've tweaked to try to avoid that and am
retrying.  FVP and qemu seem unaffected:

The affected platforms thus far are all SMP Cortex A53/5 systems, but
that's the vast majority of my lab.  They have both GICv3 and GICv2.
