When adding support for the slightly wonky Apple M1, we had to
populate ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC==1 to present something to the guest,
as the HW itself doesn't advertise the feature.
However, we gated this on the in-kernel irqchip being created.
This causes some trouble for QEMU, which snapshots the state of
the registers before creating a virtual GIC, and then tries to
restore these registers once the GIC has been created. Obviously,
between the two stages, ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC has changed value,
and the write fails.
The fix is to actually emulate the HW, and always populate the
field if the HW is capable of it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
