The Valid bit must be cleared before changing anything else when writing GICR_VPENDBASER to avoid the UNPREDICTABLE behavior. This is exactly what we've done on 32bit arm, but not on arm64. This works fine on GICv4 where we only clear Valid for a vPE deschedule. With the introduction of GICv4.1, we might also need to talk something else (e.g., PendingLast, Doorbell) to the redistributor when clearing the Valid. Let's port the 32bit gicr_write_vpendbaser() to arm64 so that hardware can do the right thing after descheduling the vPE.
