Accessing PIR_EL3

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:

MRS <Xt>, PIR_EL3

op0	op1	CRn	CRm	op2
0b11	0b110	0b1010	0b0010	0b011

if PSTATE.EL == EL0 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then X[t, 64] = PIR_EL3;

MSR PIR_EL3, <Xt>

op0	op1	CRn	CRm	op2
0b11	0b110	0b1010	0b0010	0b011

if PSTATE.EL == EL0 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then if IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_FGWTE3) && FGWTE3_EL3.PIR_EL3 == '1' then AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL3, 0x18); else PIR_EL3 = X[t, 64];
