Once the boot CPU has been prepared or a new secondary CPU has been
brought up, use ICC_PMR_EL1 to mask interrupts on that CPU and clear
PSR.I bit.

Since ICC_PMR_EL1 is initialized at CPU bringup, avoid overwriting
it in the GICv3 driver.

I don't understand this. If you don't switch off PSR_I_BIT here, where
does it happen? In which scenario do we actually have the A bit still
set? At a quick look, smp_prepare_boot_cpu() would have the A bit
cleared previously by setup_arch(). We have secondary_start_kernel()
where you call init_gic_priority_masking() before local_daif_restore().

So what happens if you always turn off PSR_I_BIT here?

So this is for secondary CPUs where PSR.A can be still set.

The thing is that the daifflags.h establishes the order for disabling
types of exceptions:
Debug > Abort > IRQ

The idea is that when introducing pseudo-NMIs this becomes:
Debug > Abort > pseudo-NMI > IRQ

Whenever aborts are disabled (maybe because we just took an abort) we
don't want to take an NMI.

So semantically it would be saying "we can take a pseudo-NMI here".
Realistically, I think it depends on the state of the GIC redistributor
for this CPU:
- If the re-distributor was initialized, nothing bad could happen as no
NMI could have been configured for this CPU yet.
- If the re-distributor initialization is done between the call to
init_gic_priority_mask() and the local_daif_restore() then probably bad
things could happen

I can try to figure out if it is safe to just clear PSR.I always, but I
also find it easier to always play by the rule "if PSR.A is set, PSR.I
is set".

Thanks,
