A recent bug report outlined that the way GICv4.1 is handled across kexec is pretty bad. We can end-up in a situation where ITSs share memory (this is the case when SVPET==1) and reprogram the base registers, creating a situation where ITSs that are part of a given affinity group see different pointers. Which is illegal. Boo. In order to restore some sanity, reset the BASERn registers to 0 *before* probing any ITS. Although this isn't optimised at all, this is only a once-per-boot cost, which shouldn't show up on anyone's radar.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
