        <para>The GIC architecture permits, but does not require, that registers can be shared between memory-mapped registers and the equivalent System registers. This means that if the memory-mapped registers have been accessed while ICC_HSRE.SRE==0, then the System registers might be modified. Therefore, software must only rely on the reset values of the System registers if there has been no use of the GIC functionality while the memory-mapped registers are in use. Otherwise, the System register values must be treated as <arm-defined-word>UNKNOWN</arm-defined-word>.</para>
