Hi, Andre, in
	struct vgic_dist {
		        ............................

		/* Bitmap indicating which CPU has something pending */
		unsigned long		irq_pending_on_cpu;
	}
the irq_pending_on_cpu parameter type just **unsigned long**.

See the vgic_update_state func:
	void vgic_update_state(struct kvm *kvm)
	{
		.......

		kvm_for_each_vcpu(c, vcpu, kvm) {
			if (compute_pending_for_cpu(vcpu)) {
				pr_debug("CPU%d has pending interrupts\n", c);
				set_bit(c, &dist->irq_pending_on_cpu);
			}
		}
	}

Maybe when the VCPU id greater than 64, and has pending irq, After calculated,  here:
	set_bit(c, &dist->irq_pending_on_cpu);
must be wrong. Isn't it ?
