Summary

On AmpereOne, the current programming of GITS_BASER2 to individual
allocations per ITS causes a:

panic: APEI Fatal Hardware Error!

This is due to the ITS reporting a BASER2_DATA_ERR error. The GIC-700
expects all GITS_BASER2.Physical_Address fields to match system-wide.

Skip programming any vPE GITS_BASER registers to avoid this crash.

Thanks Andrew, could you (or anybody else) help merge that? My commit bit is taking a nap at the moment.

@imp, @andrew, @jhb - I was wondering if one of you could commit this please?
