gicv3_read_iar and gicv3_write_eoir being common already is a product of
being sysreg wrappers, allowing for both arm32 and arm64 to use functions
of the same names, not because I wanted gicv3 to be inconsistent with
gicv2 (which uses MMIO and thus doesn't need wrappers)

OK, I can extend gic_init() to initialize a 'struct gic_common_ops' that
includes an enable -> *_enable_defaults(void), ipi_send(int cpu),
read_iar(void), iar_irqnr(u32 iar), and write_eoi(u32 irqstat). And also
provide the wrappers gic_enable, gic_ipi_send(cpu), ...

I'll let you add this one to the new common ops struct :-)

This one will be called read_iar.

Would that work for you, Alex?

Andre,

Would this also satisfy your needs for more common code?

Thanks,
