Hi all,

enabling lockdep I see the following reported in the host when I start a kvm guest:

[12399.954245]        CPU0                    CPU1
[12399.958762]        ----                    ----
[12399.963279]   lock(&(&dist->lpi_list_lock)->rlock);
[12399.968146]                                local_irq_disable();
[12399.974052]                                lock(&(&vgic_cpu->ap_list_lock)->rlock);
[12399.981696]                                lock(&(&dist->lpi_list_lock)->rlock);
[12399.989081]   <Interrupt>
[12399.991688]     lock(&(&vgic_cpu->ap_list_lock)->rlock);
[12399.996989]
                *** DEADLOCK ***

[12400.002897] 2 locks held by qemu-system-aar/5597:
[12400.007587]  #0: 0000000042beb9dc (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}, at: kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x7c/0xa68

There is nothing unusual in my config or qemu parameters, I can upload these
if needed. I see this on ThunderX and ThunderX2 and also with older kernels
(4.13+ distribution kernel).

I tried making the lpi_list_lock irq safe but that just leads to different
warnings. The locking here seems to be quite sophisticated and I'm not familiar
with it.
