I don't find it specially helpful, but at the same time, it doesn't
hurt to move it around.

I don't think it fixes anything. The idea is that if you are
accessing the state from userspace, you already have stopped the VM,
and thus there is no concurrent modifications if the state.

That is a good point, and we should unify the userspace behaviours
between GICv2 and v3.
I'll respin the series shortly.
