Well, there can only be one GICD, or at least only one that is visible.
If the HW uses multiple GICDs (one per socket?), it must make ensure
that they are all synchronized transparently. That's a strong
requirement from the architecture. Otherwise, we enter the FrankeinGIC
realm, and ACPI has no business with it.
