Simply letting IGROUPR be writable from userspace would break migration from old kernels to newer kernels, because old kernels incorrectly report interrupt groups as group 1. This would not be a big problem if userspace wrote GICD_IIDR as read from the kernel, because we could detect the incompatibility and return an error to userspace. Unfortunately, this is not the case with current userspace implementations and simply letting IGROUPR be writable from userspace for an emulated GICv2 silently breaks migration and causes the destination VM to no longer run after migration. We now encourage userspace to write the read and expected value of GICD_IIDR as the first part of a GIC register restore, and if we observe a write to GICD_IIDR we know that userspace has been updated and has had a chance to cope with older kernels (VGICv2 IIDR.Revision == 0) incorrectly reporting interrupts as group 1, and therefore we now allow groups to be user writable.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
