[PATCH] arm/arm64: KVM: vgic: Handle out-of-bound MMIO access

When performing a MMIO access via a KVM IO bus, it is possible
that the access will actually be out-of-bounds (the redistributor
handlers do not cover the whole device, for example). In this case,
we return an error code, which leads to escaping to userspace
to handle it. Not that good.

Instead, let's just treat it like any other OOB access, by either
ignoring the write, or by returning a bunch of zeroes.

And let's keep the code quiet while we're at it, as nobody likes
it when a guest can generate zillions on messages on the host's
console...
