Indeed. There isn't anything we can do about that, short of changing
the behaviour of GICv2 emulation. I'll add something to that effect in
the commit message.

Exactly. All the traps are working, *except* for ICC_SRE_EL1 itself. A
guest can then infer that it runs under a hypervisor, but not much more.

Yup. I'll fix the comment, as it is misleading.

Yeah. It's the sort of code that makes you feel dirty just looking at
it.
Thanks,
