Subject: [BOOTWRAPPER PATCH v2 1/2] Introduce --with-gic option

From: Vladimir Murzin <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 12:59:05 +0000

We are about adding support for another GIC version, so introduce a
new --with-gic option to select the desired GIC version at configure
time. The default remains v2, preserving existing behavior.  Howevere,
for GICv3, we replace the previous --enable-gicv3 option with
--with-gic=v3 which is backward-incompatible change (yet I hope we can
live with that).
