Quickly looking at gicv3_set_redist_base(), I noted a single contiguous
redistributor region seems to be used: void *ptr =
gicv3_data.redist_base[0];

Supporting more than 123 vcpus requires to use the 2 separate
redistributor regions exposed by lastest QEMU mach-virt. I suspect the
kvm-unit-test is not using both redist regions yet.

Thanks

Eric
