OK. My next question is why don't we call vits_init in vgic_init after
dist->nr_cpus? I had in mind map_resources was linked to the setting of
vgic_dist_base & vgic_cpu_base. Here you do not depend on those
addresses? Do I miss smthg?

Sorry my point was about the _ENTRY_ variant that should avoid to use
container_of, isn't it?
