   There is no issue with hardware now. Xen can boot with multicore (2
cores) but dom0 single core.
limited using bootargs. I started working on Dom0 boot with multicore.

In GICv3, On SGI at EL1 (kernel), it traps to EL2. Xen does not handle
this trap.
So need to implement it. I started working on it and also trying to
understand EL1
 SGI routing in vgic driver. BTW do you know how SGI is handled in
ARMv7 with GICv2?
I think vgic_to_sgi() in vgic driver is managing it.

No, I don't have any public git tree to share the patches
