At least one platform (APM Storm) places the two pages of the GIC cpu interface
(and the vcpu side) at non-contiguous locations. Document two additional
regions to cover this split and update the corresponding dtsi. Note that Linux
(including KVM) does not use any registers in the second page so there is no
associated code change here.  Xen will use these new regions, although I've not
written the corresponding code yet.

The ordering of these new regs is slightly counter intuitive but is inteded to
be backward compatible. It is also assumed that all such systems will implement
the GIC virtualisation extensions.

Add comments to all of the reg examples to help clarify what is going on.

Adding Catalin, Marc Z, and Will D.

I looked up the GIC-400 TRM (more specifically page 33 of
DDI0471B_gic400_r0p1_trm.pdf) but could not find any info
on additional page for CPU interface.

Am I looking at the wrong doc?

Never mind, found the GICC_DIR (offset 0x1000) register.

I have looked at the proposed device tree binding change
from APM X-Gene perspective.

This change looks good to me. (Vinayak ??)
