these hooks. First one might be non-intrusive but have few shortcomings like arch needs to have there own custom gic library. Locks used should be common since it caters to same IRQs etc. Maintenance point of view also it leads to multiple file fixes. The second probably is cleaner and portable. It ensures that all the common GIC infrastructure is not touched and also provides archs to address their specific issue.
