I would call it vgic-v3-coproc.c

I know that it is safe on the hardware, but it is weird to define a VM
with some max priority and still be able to set a higher active priority
is it not?
On the other hand, if we cannot enforce this at runtime, it may not
matter?
Hint: I'd like for you to actually think about these constraints and
make sure the sematics of the emulated VM environment remain intact
across migrations.

That's not answering my question.
What is the benefit of adding this indirection as opposed to having the
functions called directly?
To make my point clear: I hate this kind of preprocessor macro fun, and
I think it should only ever be used when there's a huge benefit in terms
of code reuse or simplicity of some sort. I don't see anything like
that in this case.
Thanks,
