[PATCH] xen/arm: gic-v3: Preserve ARE_NS when disabling the distributor



From: Mykola Kvach <mykola_kvach@xxxxxxxx>

gicv3_dist_init() disables the distributor before reprogramming the
global interrupt state. It used to do this by writing 0 to GICD_CTLR.

On a system where firmware has already enabled Non-secure affinity
routing, a zero write clears the Non-secure view's GICD_CTLR.ARE_NS bit.
Arm IHI 0069H.b, section 2.3.3 ("Changing affinity routing enables"),
states that changing GICD_CTLR.ARE_NS from 1 to 0 is UNPREDICTABLE. The
GICD_CTLR register description in section 12.9.4 carries the same rule
for the ARE_NS field.

Preserve ARE_NS while clearing the group enable bits. If firmware left
ARE_NS clear, the value written is still 0, preserving the existing
initialization flow.
