I, unfortunately, have no way to test this on hardware but I would 
agree. I would not be inclined to trust qemu in this regard.

IIRC, a select few were named and usable in GCC, but the vast majority 
were not. This may have gotten better with more recent GCC releases 
since this comment was written more than 2 years ago.

According to the ARMv8 TRM, this is the full proper name for it.

The opcode S3_0_C12_C12_7 should be identical in behavior and assembly 
with the name ICC_IGRPEN1_EL1. It's spelled out in the ARMv8 TRM on 
D12-3006.
