Although I've added my fair share of BUG_ON() in the code base, I've
since reconsidered my position. If we get in a situation where the vgic
is not initialized, maybe it would be better to just WARN_ON and return
early rather than killing the whole box. Thoughts?

Maybe a slightly better comment would be saying that we're using a
purely virtual interrupt, unrelated to the hardware interrupt.

Otherwise looks good.
