No. This 4kB page only contain a single register (GICC_DIR), which is WO/RAZ. > > Region 2: > 4 KiB-pages 0xf1041000-0xf104ffff are aliased to 0xf1040000-0xf1040fff, > 4 KiB-pages 0xf1050000-0xf105ffff are all zeroes, probably due to > non-secure mode? Neither. The aliases are an unused feature of GIC400 exposing the other CPUs view of the same registers... > > Region 3: > 4 KiB-pages 0xf1061000-0xf106ffff are aliased to 0xf1060000-0xf1060fff, > 4 KiB-pages 0xf1070000-0xf107ffff are all zeroes, probably due to > non-secure mode?

While we're at it, adding a pointer to the documentation (GIC400 and SBSA) would be tremendously useful, as it'd avoid misinterpreting the various bits. Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny...
