See the xlate function in the main GICv3 driver.

We need something to indicate that we want it to allocate an LPI, but
this function is mostly DT-specific, and we don't have an LPI type in
the binding just yet (I've purposely pushed back on it until we have a
clear idea of where we want to take LPIs).

So this value is just a made up thing that is unlikely to ever find its
place in a DT binding.

Thanks,

	M.
