When adding support for the slightly wonky Apple M1, we had to populate ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC==1 to present something to the guest, as the HW itself doesn't advertise the feature. However, we gated this on the in-kernel irqchip being created. This causes some trouble for QEMU, which snapshots the state of the registers before creating a virtual GIC, and then tries to restore these registers once the GIC has been created. Obviously, between the two stages, ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC has changed value, and the write fails. The fix is to actually emulate the HW, and always populate the field if the HW is capable of it.
