the kernel image will be entered must be initialised by software at a
higher exception level to prevent execution in an UNKNOWN state.
+ For systems with a GICv3 interrupt controller:
+ - If EL3 is present:
+ ICC_SRE_EL3.Enable (bit 3) must be initialiased to 0b1.
+ ICC_SRE_EL3.SRE (bit 0) must be initialised to 0b1.
+ - If the kernel is entered at EL1:
+ ICC.SRE_EL2.Enable (bit 3) must be initialised to 0b1
+ ICC_SRE_EL2.SRE (bit 0) must be initialised to 0b1.
+
The requirements described above for CPU mode, caches, MMUs, architected
timers, coherency and system registers apply to all CPUs. All CPUs must
enter the kernel in the same exception level.
