    irqchip/gic-v3: Support pseudo-NMIs when SCR_EL3.FIQ == 0 · d022439c

    The GIC's internal view of the priority mask register and the assigned
    interrupt priorities are based on whether GIC security is enabled and
    whether firmware routes Group 0 interrupts to EL3. At the moment, we
    support priority masking when ICC_PMR_EL1 and interrupt priorities are
    either both modified by the GIC, or both left unchanged.
    
    Trusted Firmware-A's default interrupt routing model allows Group 0
    interrupts to be delivered to the non-secure world (SCR_EL3.FIQ == 0).
    Unfortunately, this is precisely the case that the GIC driver doesn't
    support: ICC_PMR_EL1 remains unchanged, but the GIC's view of interrupt
    priorities is different from the software programmed values.
    
    Support pseudo-NMIs when SCR_EL3.FIQ == 0 by using a different value to
    mask regular interrupts. All the other values remain the same.
