[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] ARM: GIC: error out early when creating VGICv2 failed

[Shannon Zhao]

Currently if creating a gicv2 VM on the platform without
VGICv2 support, it failed in kvm_arm_pmu_set_irq while
trying to set the interrupt number for PMU with below
error message.
KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR failed: Invalid argument

This error log is a little confused. Also it should error
out in kvm_arm_gic_realize early.
