That looks correct, but I think we should have some code that ensures
that these tables are correct at boot time, just like we're doing for
the system registers. Or completely remove our reliance on bsearch().

Another thing is that GICD_STATUSR looks pretty wrong. It is handled
as RAO, but we never clear any "error" (it is WI). This has been buggy
since GICv3 save/restore was added, 7 years ago.

Do you mind spinning a series fixing this up?

Thanks,
