I think Marc's point on this was not to spoil 32bit code (as this is the
GIC, which is shared). In the GICv2 spec the register are declared as a
number of 32 bit registers, so there is some sense in keeping it u32.
So I came up with the following this morning:

diff --git a/include/kvm/arm_vgic.h b/include/kvm/arm_vgic.h
index 35b0c12..6f884df 100644
--- a/include/kvm/arm_vgic.h
+++ b/include/kvm/arm_vgic.h

        u32             vgic_misr;      /* Saved only */
-       u32             vgic_eisr[2];   /* Saved only */

+               u32             vgic_eisr[2];   /* Saved only */
+               unsigned long   vgic_eisr_bm[8 / sizeof(long)];
+       };
+       union {
+               u32             vgic_elrsr[2];  /* Saved only */
+               unsigned long   vgic_elrsr_bm[8 / sizeof(long)];
+       };
        u32             vgic_apr;
        u32             vgic_lr[VGIC_V2_MAX_LRS];
 };

And then use vgic_elrsr_bm in set_bit().

Admittedly a bit hacky, but fixes the alignment issue while still
retaining sane code for ARM.
If anyone knows a good fix for that "8 / sizeof(long)" kludge, I am all
ears.

Regards,
Andre.
