Yeah, that's a leftover from some refactoring.

Then &(cfg)->irqchip will be 0 as all the other configuration parameters
because they are part of struct kvm, which is calloc()ed.
So it will be IRQCHIP_GICV2, as that is the first entry in the enum.
Admittedly a bit convoluted, do you want a comment or an explicit
enum { IRQCHIP_GICV2 = 0, ...}?

Cheers,
Andre.
