Is there a subsequent patch which exposes this lock to  gic-{v2,v3}.c? I
grepped but couldn't find it. AFAIK the pattern is always:
        common: take lock
        common: call per gic callback
                per gic callback: do stuff assuming lock held
        common: release lock

IOW the lock is only used from the common code?

Ian.
