Thank you for pointing this out.
Recently I tested my kdump code on hikey, and as hikey(hi6220) has gic-400,
I didn't notice this problem.

Do you think so?
How about the fixup! patch attached below?
The point is that, like Ashwin's first idea, we initialize cpus temporarily
before kvm_vgic_hyp_init() and then soon reset cpus again. Thus,
kvm cpu hotplug will still continue to work as before.
Now that cpu_init_hyp_mode() is revived as exactly the same as Marc's
original code, the change will not be a big jump.
If kvm_hyp_call() in vgic_v3_probe()/kvm_vgic_hyp_init() is a *problem*,
I hope this should work. Actually I confirmed that, with this fixup! patch,
we could run a kvm guest and also successfully executed kexec on model w/gic-v3.
My only concern is the following kernel message I saw when kexec shut down
the kernel:
(Please note that I was running one kvm quest (pid=961) here.)

I don't know whether we can ignore this kind of message or not.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
