Hi Ricardo,

vgic_get_irq(intid) is used all over the vgic code in order to get a
reference to a struct irq. It warns whenever intid is not a valid number
(like when it's a reserved IRQ number). The issue is that this warning
can be triggered from userspace (e.g., KVM_IRQ_LINE for intid 1020).

Drop the WARN call from vgic_get_irq.

-       WARN(1, "Looking up struct vgic_irq for reserved INTID");
Could we maybe downgrade the message to WARN_ONCE() (to get a stack)
or pr_warn_ratelimited()? I agree it is problematic that userspace can
cause this WARN to fire, but it'd be helpful for debugging too.
