arm/arm64: KVM: vgic: make number of irqs a configurable attribute
In order to make the number of interrupts configurable, use the new fancy device management API to add KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_NR_IRQS as a VGIC configurable attribute. Userspace can now specify the exact size of the GIC (by increments of 32 interrupts). Reviewed-by: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>
