Sigh.  We probably have to.

I don't like having a cross-VGIC-PMU check, but we could do something
like setting a flag on the kvm struct so that irqchip_in_user() always
return true, and if that is set, it is not possible to create the VGIC.

Alternatively we can make the PMU init a no-op, and try to enable it via
the first-vcpu-run path, like the timer, and check that everything lines
up then (i.e. you have in-kernel irqchip with a non-conflicting irq
number or you have a userspace irqchip).

Thougths?

Thanks,
