 But... As far as i could understand, LPI is added to a collection as a part of setup. And
collection actually represents a destination CPU, doesn't it? And we can't have multiple
LPIs sharing the same number and going to different CPUs. Or am i wrong? Unfortunately i
don't have GICv3 arch reference manual.

 Wow, i didn't know about GICv4.
