Seems that in KVM we do not consider GICD_TYPER in migration. How about
making GICD_TYPER.num_LPIs as a default configuration, when KVM version is
same between source and destination during migration, the logic is still right.

Something like:

However,migration between different KVMs will be broken :(
I am not sure that should we consider this case as well?
