In order to further reduce the impact of the wait delay of the
VPT analysis, we can delay the execution of the polling on the
GICR_VPENDBASER.Dirty bit (call it from kvm_vgic_flush_hwstate()
corresponding to vPE resident), let the GIC and the CPU work in
parallel on the entry path.

This should be written as:

In order to speed up the respin round-trip, I've taken the liberty
to refactor this patch myself. Please have a look at [1] and let
me know if you're OK with it.

I have looked at it and am OK.

By the way, will the first patch (set the delay_us to 1) be picked up
together?

I'll route it via the irqchip tree.

Thanks,

M.
