Ok, I will correct it.

Yes, should have the vmovp_lock held?
And is it necessary to also hold this lock in its_vpe_irq_domain_activate/deactivate?

Alright, EINVAL looks better.

We check the vmapp_count in it to ensure the unmapping of the vPE, and
let the caller do the unmapping (they should know whether it is the right
time). If the unmapping is not done, just return a failure.

Yeah, that also seems a good choice.
If you prefer it, we can try to realize it in v2.
