Advertise the presence of the GIC system register interface (1<<24)
according to H9.248 of the ARM ARM.

This patch allows Xen to boot on QEMU aarch64.

Whoops -- we missed this when we added the GICv3 support, because
Linux doesn't check it.

Applied to target-arm.next, thanks.

Unfortunately I've just noticed that this breaks booting Linux
in the "not using gicv3" case. This is because we don't actually
define the GICv3 cpu interface registers unless the board
instantiates a GICv3. We mustn't advertise the GICv3 sysregs
in the ID register unless we actually have them.

Not sure how best to fix this -- it's a consequence of the
design decision we made to have the sysregs implementation
be in the gicv3 code. There's no useful feature bit in the CPU
to hang this off either, it's an effect of whether the board
model happens to wire up a gicv3 or not. So we can only figure
this out fairly late on (probably at CPU reset time), which
is a bit tedious for getting ID reg values right.

In the meantime I've dropped this patch from target-arm.next.

thanks

Fixing QEMU is harder than I expected. Would it be possible to update
id_aa64pfr0 at CPU reset time? Like cpu->id_aa64pfr0 |= 0x01000000; ?

At that point we've already called register_cp_regs_for_features(),
which is where we read cpu->id_aa64pfr0 when we're creating the
cpreg. So if you change it after that it's too late. But that
function is called at CPU realize time, which is before we've
created the GIC object...
