FWIW, the equivalent implementation didn't help kvm-unit-tests. Still
timing-out. Even after attempting to set it back to old, which was 3,
when I read it again I still get zero,

pre-read  bpr1=3
post-read bpr1=0
new = 0, old = 3
resetting to old and doing post-post-read...
post-post-read bpr1=0
FAIL: gicv3: ipi: self: Timed-out (5s). ACKS: missing=1 extra=0 unexpected=0
