Maybe, but if you apply this patch and review it that way, it becomes
much easier.  I'd really like to get this in soon, so given you already
gave me your reviewed-by, I'm going to wait and see what Marc says and
only respin if he finds it necessary.

So I thought about that, but really, the fact that we now call
vgic_init() from all sorts of places shouldn't require us to rename all
those functions, just because they call init.  So I ended up naming this
function for what it really does, and then just added a comment about
the on-demand approach.

I think that's cleanest.
