Will fix, thanks.

There is this mention in IHI0069D, 5.4 (Virtual LPI support):

"The Redistributor associated with the PE on which the vPE is scheduled
determines the highest priority pending vLPI, and forwards this to the
virtual CPU interface of the vPE. This vLPI and the interrupts in the
List register are then prioritized together to determine the highest
priority pending virtual interrupt for the vPE."
