Ah.
I don't know if it helps, but we do have the ability to trigger a full
system reset from CAS, so possibly we can do the XICS/XIVE
instantiation in the reset path.
I don't think we use that CAS reset ability yet - we just adjust the
device tree and continue the boot. But it's there if we need it.
Worst comes to worst, we might have to instantiate both XICS and XIVE
objects, with some flags in each indicating which is active.
