This is exactly the same code as above, and it feels a bit weird to have
this code be dependent on which host gic you have, unless you plan on
supporting a frankenvgicv2 in the guest with more than 8 vcpus?

Don't we have some common place for gicv2 emulation where we can stick
this, set the max_vcpus (perhaps using a #define) and then compare the
nr_vcpus to the max_vcpus?
