Good point, thanks for pointing this out. I have a question, do we really
have some SoCs without banked registers?

I ask this question because we can do something for GIC cpu interface
with per cpu offset, but ACPI do NOT support per cpu offset for GIC
distributor.

Actually not, it will be used for GIC initialization.

Ok, I will update them all in next version.

Thanks
