That's a good point. I've moved the disposal to the callers.

I've added an explicit valid flag, which is set true when an enabled
(or online_capable) GICC entry is actually processed. I've made
gic_acpi_collect_virt_info() return that flag directly so now a
disabled entry can't falsely return success.

No, I've removed it.
