Yep, you have a point, will do my best to consolidate them.

Yes, I wrote it in the cover letter (again, easy to miss), I have
to admit I am not convinced either. We need 24 bits max, so a 2MB
chunk of memory worst case but other than that I can't really argue
to be honest.

I also thought about re-using the GICv3 ITS LPI allocator (which
does the same thing - agree, it is an on-purpose one, so maybe
it is better to reuse a core code construct).

Marc obviously has more background knowledge on this - I am
open to reworking this LPI allocator and remove the MT.

Point taken.

I will update it.

Thanks Thomas,
