Fair enough.

Nice catch. This was introduced in abd7229626b93 ("KVM: arm/arm64:
Simplify active_change_prepare and plug race"), while we had the
opposite condition before that.

This means that on GICv2, GICD_I[CS]ACTIVER writes are unreliable for
intids 32-63 (we may fail to clear an active bit if it is set in
another vcpu's LRs, for example).

I'll add an extra patch for this.

Thanks,
