I am not familiar with irqdomains or with the irqchip infrastructure, so I can't
really comment on patch #8.

I tried testing this with a GICv3 by modifying the driver to set
no_hw_deactivation and no_maint_irq_mask:

        vgic_set_kvm_info(&gic_v3_kvm_info);

Kept the maintenance irq ID so the IRQ gets enabled at the Redistributor level. I
don't know if I managed to break something with those changes, but when testing on
the model and on a rockpro64 (with the patches cherry-picked on top of v5.13-rc7)
I kept seeing rcu stalls. I assume I did something wrong.

Thanks,

Alex
