Hi Andre,

Please have a look at the series, review it and give the code some
serious testing (and possibly debugging). All feedback is appreciated.
I see that with the new vgic implementation kvmtool starts throwing:

kvm [1273]: Unable to register VGICv3 redist MMIO regions
It comes from kvm_io_bus_register_dev()

if (bus->dev_count - bus->ioeventfd_count > NR_IOBUS_DEVS - 1)
	return -ENOSPC;

with bus->dev_count being 1000
Ouch. That's a consequence of having one "device" per actual register
set, I believe. So either we bump this limit up by a factor 10 (at
least), or we switch back to the old way of handling access to the GIC
regions (big "catch-all", and further demuxing).

Thoughts?

Thanks,

	M.
