Actually it looks related but conflict free. I am splitting off the
c-file implementation while he is going after the header. We can do
both, as our patches don't help each-others problem and there is no
one-shot solution that I can see. I have commented Pavels patch, as I
think we could shortcut that by just obj-y'ing GIC. Otherwise i'll
look into merging his and my patch into one series.
