ARM: KVM: VGIC control interface world switch
ARM: KVM: VGIC interrupt injection
ARM: KVM: vgic: retire queued, disabled interrupts
ARM: KVM: VGIC virtual CPU interface management
ARM: KVM: VGIC distributor handling
ARM: KVM: VGIC accept vcpu and dist base addresses from user space
ARM: KVM: Initial VGIC infrastructure code
ARM: KVM: Keep track of currently running vcpus
