I know this patch doesn't (by itself) fix the issues with guest
reboot, but I think it is worth having anyway because not resetting
the PL061 state is a genuine bug. Can you do a v3 and resend, please?
PS: please could you include a cover letter email next time round,
since this is a multi patch series?
Side note: half our "PL061" behaviour is actually specific
to the TI variant in the Luminary, and for our plain old PL061
we ought to restrict access to the registers that are Stellaris
only. But that's a different bug and not a very major one.
thanks
