The same could be said for Xen on Aarch32 Armv8. This is not officially
supported but works with some tweak in the lookup function.

I would rather not have such config. There are no issue to allow someone to
build it for 32-bit because Xen is perfectly capable to detect which GIC
version is in use.

Instead we could simply disable GICv3 by default for arm32.
