Yes, I think you did a good job at answering my poorly worded question.

This is the case I am concerned about:

1. Userspace sets first redistributor base address to 0x0 via
KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST_REGION(count = 1, base = 0x0, flags = 0, index = 0).

2. Userspace sets first redistributor base address to 0x0 + 128K, immediately
following the previous Redistributor.

In that case the two Redistributors will be represented by two separate struct
vgic_redist_region, but they are adjacent to one another and represent one
contiguous memory region.

>From what I understand from your patch, GICR_TYPER.Last will be set for both
Redistributors, when it should be set only for the second Redistributor. Does any
of that make sense?
