So how about this, just before this patch (I'll obviously do something similar for GICv3):

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-v2: Reset LRs at boot time

In order to let make the GICv2 code more lazy in the way it
accesses the LRs, it is necessary to start with a clean slate.

Let's reset the LRs on each CPU when the vgic is probed.
