The GIC architecture specification defines a set of registers for redistributors and ITSes that control the sharebility and cacheability attributes of redistributors/ITSes initiator ports on the interconnect (GICR_[V]PROPBASER, GICR_[V]PENDBASER, GITS_BASER<n>). Architecturally the GIC provides a means to drive shareability and cacheability attributes signals but it is not mandatory for designs to wire up the corresponding interconnect signals that control the cacheability/shareability of transactions. Redistributors and ITSes interconnect ports can be connected to non-coherent interconnects that are not able to manage the shareability/cacheability attributes; this implicitly makes the redistributors and ITSes non-coherent observers. To enable non-coherent GIC designs on ACPI based systems, parse the MADT GICC/GICR/ITS subtables non-coherent flags to determine whether the respective components are non-coherent observers and force the shareability attributes to be programmed into the redistributors and ITSes registers. An ACPI global function (acpi_get_madt_revision()) is added to retrieve the MADT revision, in that it is essential to check the MADT revision before checking for flags that were added with MADT revision 7 so that if the kernel is booted with an ACPI MADT table with revision < 7 it skips parsing the newly added flags (that should be zeroed reserved values for MADT versions < 7 but they could turn out to be buggy and should be ignored).
