GICv3s in recent QEMU versions have ITS (Interrupt Translation Service)
enabled by default, which Linux will make use of. We will crash when
trying to re-assigning a CPU back to the root cell, as the root
cell's Linux will try to access ITS regions when powering up a CPU.

As we don't support ITS in Jailhouse, disable ITS for the moment.
