Why should KVM care about what bits the RMM wants to use? Also, why
should KVM be forbidden to use the TALL0, TALL1 and TC bits? If
interrupt delivery is the host's business, then the RMM has no
business interfering with the GIC programming.

Why do we care about ICH_MISR_EL2? Surely we get everything in the
registers themselves, right? I think this goes back to my question
above: why is the RMM getting in the way of ICH_*_EL2 accesses?
