Since GICv4.1, an implementation can offer the same MMIO-based implementation as DirectLPI, only with an ITS. Given that this can be hugely beneficial for workloads that are very LPI masking heavy (although these workloads are admitedly a bit odd). Interestingly, this is independent of RVPEI, which only *implies* the functionnality. So let's detect whether the implementation has GICR_CTLR.IR set, and propagate this as DirectLPI to the ITS driver. While we're at it, repaint the GICv3 banner so that we advertise the various capabilities at boot time to be slightly less invasive.

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.
