No need from my side, this way all the bug reports are send to Wei ;-)

So how are we actually handling this? Waiting for the GIC series to be
merged, then rebasing on top of that (which is what I thought we'd do)?

Or make a combined patch (taking it out of both series), and merge it
before?

At least for registers that differ in size between A32 and A64. Many
system registers are actually 32-bit wide and are explicitly stated as
such in the ARM(v8) ARM (for instance MIDR_EL1).
Yes, the A64 msr/mrs instructions only know a 64-bit register encoding,
but the actual content is often confined to 32 bits (in MIDR or PMCR,
for instance).
So I wonder if we should take care of those with an explicit uint32_t
return type?

Not so sure about that.
I think we may need _three_ types of system register accessors?
1) always 32-bit (e.g. MIDR_EL1): use uint32_t
2) always 64-bit (e.g. CNTVCT_EL0),: use uint64_t
3) natural register size (e.g. MPIDR_EL1): use unsigned long

Does that make sense or is that overkill?

Cheers,
Andre.
