Hello Shanker,

Please mention in the title and the commit message that is patch is ACPI 
only.

It will crash Xen as soon as DOM0 is created (see the BUG() in 
arch_domain_create). Please test any patch before sending on the ML.
Anyway, there is no support of GICv4 in Xen. Instead Xen will drive it 
using the GICv3 driver. So the hardware version should be GIC_V3 here.
