Interrupt Controller Virtual Interrupt Priority Registers
Priority of virtual PPIs.
AArch64 System register ICH_PPI_PRIORITYR<n>_EL2 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ICV_PPI_PRIORITYR<n>_EL1[63:0].
This register is present only when FEAT_GCIE is implemented, (EL2 is implemented or EL3 is implemented), and FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to ICH_PPI_PRIORITYR<n>_EL2 are UNDEFINED.
If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.
ICH_PPI_PRIORITYR<n>_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

The priority of virtual PPI <(n * 8) + x>.
Accessing this field has the following behavior:
Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
MRS <Xt>, ICH_PPI_PRIORITYR<n>_EL2 ; Where n = 0-15
(op0 = 0b11, op1 = 0b100, CRn = 0b1100, CRm = 0b111:n[3], op2 = n[2:0])
