 Heh, yes, looks like that. And perhaps it's somewhat non-standard...
 I will study kvmtool and try to come up with some good solution.

 By the way, since you're referring to documentation... TRM you have mentioned 
contains references to "GIC architecture reference manual v3.0", which i was 
unable to find. On ARM resource center i see only v2 of the manual. And it 
looks like you have it because otherwise you would not get description of many 
registers. Can you point me at a correct place ?
