Why this change, I slightly preferred the first version of this patch,
but I will admit that the "has_its = true; no_wait(); has_its = false;"
things is pretty ugly...

... but now we're using vgic_supports_direct_msis() in one part of the
init path and a half-open coded version of that in another path, which
is not very pretty.

So I actually would suggest doing the init stuff more open-coded,
because init of the gic/its/gicv4 is a mess anyway.

Something like this:

diff --git a/virt/kvm/arm/vgic/vgic-init.c b/virt/kvm/arm/vgic/vgic-init.c
index 62310122ee78..743ca5cb05ef 100644

return 0; /* Nothing to see here... move along. */

if (dist->its_vm.vpes)

Does that work?
