So just as you thought you were getting off easy...

The reason we now have kvm_timer_update_irq and
kvm_timer_update_mapped_irq is that we have the following two vgic
functions:

kvm_vgic_inject_irq
kvm_vgic_inject_mapped_irq

But the only difference between the two is what they pass
as the mapped_irq argument to vgic_update_irq_pending.

What about if we just had this as a precursor patch:

That would make this patch simpler.  If so, I can send out the above
patch with a proper description.
