It appends gic-version= to the machine option, if bunch of conditions
are met -- it has to be ARM machine, it has to be something else than
version 2, and so on, more details are visible in the code and I won't
cover them here. I hope that's understandable.
OK. So it should be sufficient just to have
<gic version='host'/>
which will then provide whatever VGIC the host machine can do with
hardware acceleration.
