I think the doc says, RVPEID is *always* 1 for GICv4.1 (and presumably beyond)
and when RVPEID==1 then DirectLPI is *always* 0 - but that's OK because for
GICv4.1 support for direct LPIs is mandatory.

How feasible is the following suitation? All the redistributors in the system has
vlpis=0, and only the first redistributor has rvpeid=1 (with the remaining ones
rvpeid=0). If we evaluate this WARN_ON_ONCE on each call to
__gic_update_rdist_properties we end up without direct LPI support, however if we
evaluated this after iterating through all the redistributors then we'd end up
with direct LPI support and a non-essential WARN.

Should we do the WARN after iterating through all the redistributors once we
know what the final values of these flags will be, perhaps in
gic_update_rdist_properties?
