 One concern about this... Does it already have "We are Bosses, we Decided it, 
It's not subject to
change, We do not care" status? Actually, current approach with using index 
instead of Aff bits
works pretty well. It works fine with qemu too, because internally qemu also 
maintains CPU index,
which it uses for GICv2 accesses.
 Keeping index allows to reuse more code, and provides better backwards 
compatibility. So could we
do this?
