Yes, with the KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST legacy API. The easiest way
to get to this situation is with the selftest in patch 2.  I then tried
an extra experiment: map the first redistributor, run the first vcpu,
and access the redist from inside the guest. KVM didn't complain in any
of these steps.
