My comments to Vladimir's bug report notwithstanding, there's still a
choice here to:

1) Expand/modify the KVM IO bus framework to take an arbitrary number of devices

2) Build a KVM architectureal generic framework on top of the IO bus
framework to handle individual register regions.

3) Stick with what we had before, do not modify the KVM IO bus stuff,
and handle the individual register region business locally within the
arm/vgic code.
I prefer 3, or alternatively just add the framework in virt/kvm/arm so
that it can be migrated to virt/kvm if someone else needs it.
Sounds like a plan.  Thanks Paolo.
