Re: [PATCH v5 42/49] KVM: selftests: Add VGICv5 IRS_REGS attribute tests

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The selftest for validating `GICV5_IRS_IDR0` domain rejection assigns a completely zeroed value to `val` instead of modifying the existing register value, making the test ineffective.

KVM: selftests: Add VGICv5 IRS_REGS attribute tests
    
This commit adds test coverage for the VGICv5 IRS_REGS attribute group.
It verifies that KVM properly exposes valid registers and rejects
invalid inputs, bad offsets, or incorrect alignment.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this test effectively check the INT_DOM field rejection?

Since val is assigned directly rather than modifying a valid read value (like
the SETLPI test below it), and since GICV5_IRS_IDR0_INT_DOM_SECURE is 0,
val is evaluated as 0. 

The kernel will likely reject IDR0 = 0 due to other mismatched fields (such
as version numbers or feature bits), making this test pass even if the kernel
fails to validate the INT_DOM field specifically.

Could this be updated to read the existing IDR0 value and modify its INT_DOM
field before calling __kvm_device_attr_set?
