You're actually not explicitly allowing this in this patch, you're
implicitly allowing it because init would fail without the vgic
distributor base address being set already.

Either re-arrange your patches or fix the commit message.

You need to add documentation for this new device type and the userspace
ABI.

what happens now if you add more vcpus after having created a GICv2 with
8 vcpus?

Otherwise looks good to me.
