Reviewed-by: Eric Auger <eric.auger@linaro.org>
a question about that irqchip_in_kernel(kvm):
kvm->arch.vgic.in_kernel is set in kvm_vgic_create but nobody resets it,
especially in destroy, am i wrong?
if the vgic is initialized shouldn't it be also created? Shouldn't we
test irqchip_in_kernel in vgic_init instead?
Also in case we need irqchip_in_kernel(kvm) here we might need it also
in kvm_vgic_inject_irq because dist->lock is grabbed in
vgic_update_irq_pending.
