+	  Using the ICC system registers for IRQ masking makes it possible
+	  to simulate NMI on ARM64 systems. This allows several interesting
+	  features (especially debug features) to be used on these systems.

+	  Say Y here to implement IRQ masking using ICC system
+	  registers when the GIC System Registers are available. The changes
+	  are applied dynamically using the alternatives system so it is safe
+	  to enable this option on systems with older interrupt controllers.
