+    GICD_IIDR.Revision is updated when the KVM implementation is changed in a
+    way directly observable by the guest or userspace.  Userspace should read

     The GICD_STATUSR and GICR_STATUSR registers are architecturally defined such
     that a write of a clear bit has no effect, whereas a write with a set bit
     clears that value.  To allow userspace to freely set the values of these two
