Hi,

This ostensibly fixes a bug with gdbstub when accessing the GIC state
(via system registers). It also proposes a pattern for removing
current_cpu/qtest_enabled() hacks in hw/ by passing the cpu index via
MemTxAttrs. For the ARM timer code we also assert that those accesses
do come from a CPU (as opposed to HW DMA attempting to overwrite
stuff).

We do need to audit helpers in target/ which use the address_space API
to read and write data and ensure they properly form their MxTxAttrs
so this works cleanly.

What do people think?

Alex Bennée (4):
  hw: encode accessing CPU index in MemTxAttrs
  qtest: make read/write operation appear to be from CPU
  hw/intc/gic: use MxTxAttrs to divine accessing CPU
  hw/timer: convert mptimer access to attrs to derive cpu index
