Hi Bertrand,

 It seems that the problem is a bit bigger then expected and will need 
more discussion and thinking.
I did some research on my side and there are several design possible 
depending on what should be the goal performance or real-time behaviour 
(going from just give the status we have to fire a service interrupts 
when any interrupts is acked by a guest to refresh our internal status).
 In the short term, could we not agree to fix the typo by returning 
always 0 and start a discussion on the vgic implementation ?
 
 I have already pointed out multiple time now ([1], [2]) that I would not 
oppose the temporary solution. I think this is a matter of someone 
(Stefano?) to submit it :).
Cheers,
