the 1st test sequence handles the case where the legacy
KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST is used (!count) while the second handles
the case where the REDIST_REGION is used. Nevertheless I think this can
be simplified into:

if (list_empty(rd_regions)) {
if (index != 0)
return -EINVAL;
} else {
rdreg = list_last_entry(rd_regions,
struct vgic_redist_region, list);

if ((!count) != (!rdreg->count))
return -EINVAL; /* Mix REDIST and REDIST_REGION */

if (!count)
return -EEXIST;

if (index != rdreg->index + 1)
return -EINVAL;
}

OK thank you for the detailed study.
