I'm confused. We've always used a variable, as even with GICv2, we
usually have far less list registers than the maximum (4 vs 64). Looking
at the code you mention, I see this:

	/* Try to use another LR for this interrupt */
	lr = find_first_zero_bit((unsigned long *)vgic_cpu->lr_used,
			       vgic->nr_lr);

Am I looking at the wrong place?

	M.
