We went over this and discussed this during Linaro Connect, and we came up with an API that we believe considers the future, works well with how things are going to be designed in QEMU, and follows the architecture. I'm sorry to make you rework your patches at this stage, but I'd like you to take a look at the patch for the API that I just sent out (subject: KVM: arm/arm64: Add VGICv3 save/restore API documentation) and adapt this patch set to use that API instead and then I'll review that.
