Seems like the GIC driver could remap it's own memory but maybe that

work across all platforms and then the platform would need to do

it.

Why not just add a stub in the xilinx platform for now that remaps
the
memory using ioremap and calls the regular GIC initialization?

Seems easy enough assuming we don't need the SCU early for the core count
and can get that from the device tree.

Since the SCU and part of the GIC end up in the same 4K page they need to be
together (unless I'm thinking about that wrong).

SCU 0xF8000000
GIC_CPU 0xF8000100
GIC_DIS 0xF8001000

That function can then easily be moved to common code when another
platform uses it.
