Subject[PATCH 5/5] arm64: Update booting requirements for GICv3 in GICv2 mode
Date
The current requirements do not describe the case where a GICv3
system gets booted with system register access disabled, and
expect the kernel to drive GICv3 in GICv2 mode.

Describe the expected settings for that particular case.
