Though GIC ARE option is disabled for no GIC-v2 compatibility,
Cortex-A53 is free to implement the CPU interface as long as it
communicates with the GIC using the stream protocol. This requires
that the SoC integration mark out the PERIPHBASE[1] as reserved area
within the SoC. See longer discussion in [2] for further information.
Update the GIC register map to indicate offsets from PERIPHBASE based
on [3]. Without doing this, systems like kvm will not function with
gic-v2 emulation.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
