I'm a bit puzzled by this patch as well.  The struct vmcr is an internal
representation of the VMCR register fields without well-defined
semantics of how the fields should be laid out.

I think I would prefer it if we document on the vmcr struct which format
the pmr field is in, and choose the actual ICC_PMR_EL1 or GICC_PMR
format for this field, and then we leave the get/set_vmcr functions
untouched.

nit: why do we write DOES NOT here i upper case (feels a bit aggressive)?
