First of all, don't go altering a properly typed static inline like this
for a macro.  The former is better in all regards, save the number of
lines it takes to express.

You appear to have missed the entire point of this function.
d->max_vcpus is uninitialised at this point (although it will always
have the value 0).

You have also missed the point of Juliens review, which is to say that
an ARM64 build of Xen running a GICv2 domain must not claim to support
128 cpus.
