    xen/arm: traps: Emulate ICC_SRE_EL1 as RAZ/WI
    
    Recent Linux kernel (4.4 and onwards [1]) is checking whether it is possible
    to enable sysreg access (ICC_SRE_EL1.SRE) when the ID register
    (ID_AA64PRF0_EL1.GIC) is reporting the presence of the sysreg interface.
    
    When the guest has been configured to use GICv2, the hypervisor will
    disable sysreg access for this vm (via ICC_SRE_EL2.Enable) and therefore
    access to system register such as ICC_SRE_EL1 are trapped in EL2.
    
    However, ICC_SRE_EL1 is not emulated by the hypervisor. This means that
    Linux will crash as soon as it is trying to access ICC_SRE_EL1.
    
    To solve this problem, Xen can implement ICC_SRE_EL1 as read-as-zero
    write-ignore. The emulation will only be used when sysreg are disabled
    for EL1.

    enabling ARM64_HAS_SYSREG_GIC_CPUIF"
