Hmm, should we use the ID register field as the source of truth for
kvm_has_gicv3() at this point?

I think what you have in patch #1 makes good sense for a stable
backport. Using the ID register from this point forward would make the
behavior consistent for a stupid userspace instantiated GICv3 for the VM
but clobbered it from the ID register.

AFAICT all other usage of kvm_has_gicv3() happens after
kvm_finalize_sys_regs(), so it should take this last-minute fixup into
account.
