A quick scan through http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/arm64/arm64/gic_v3.c
doesn't seem to show it setting the IGROUPR registers anywhere,
so it probably is a guest bug. (You can use "-d 'trace:gicv3*'" to
enable the tracepoints for the GIC which would let you check whether
the guest ever tries to write to the group config registers.)
