Read-allocation hints are not enabled for both the GIC-ITS and GICR tables. This forces the hardware to always read the table contents from an external memory (DDR) which is slow compared to cache memory. Most of the tables are often read by hardware. So, it's better to enable Read-allocate hints in addition to Write-allocate hints in order to improve the GICR_PEND, GICR_PROP, Collection, Device, and vCPU tables lookup time.
