Hi Arm mantainers/Folks,
 Please refer to the discussion 
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/51163 .
 We intend to run Zephyr as a domU guest on Xen on Aarch32_v8R fixed 
virtual platform.
 Zephyr is trying to read GICR_TYPER which is a 64 bit register using 
ldrd instruction.
 As GICR is emulated by Xen, so this instruction gets trapped with HSR = 
0x9200000c.
As ISV is 0, so Xen cannot emulate this instruction.
 The proposed solution is to use two sys_read32() on GICR_TYPER to return 
the lower and upper 32 bits.
With this, HSR = 0x9383 000c, ISV=1 so ISS is valid.
 Now, for Xen to emulate this read, I have proposed the modifications (in 
my last comment).
 1. Does the proposed modifications look sane ? Or could there be a 
better alternative ?
 2. As there is no 32 bit variant for GICR_TYPER, so does it make sense 
to read this register at all ?
Kind regards,
Ayan
