Yes, actually I merge both of them in the new VGIC series (44/45: [1]).
But this mini-series aims to stay as close as possible to the original
code, so I think we will properly unify this once the old VGIC gets removed.

But thanks for the heads up with the userspace injection and mapped
IRQs, I was wondering the other day what the differences between the two
actually were. This may mean I have to rework the 44/45 patch.

Merci!

Cheers,
