This looks like a worth-while thing to do.  Do you have any
performance measurements to justify the change?  This will increase
the size of struct kvmppc_ics by 4kB, so it would be useful to show
the performance increase that justifies it.

Also, when you resend the patch, please make the patch description
more definite - say "With this patch, we use" rather than "this patch
tries to use", for instance.

Regards,
Paul.
