This is not quite right, ITS virtual device may not be initialized at the time of
calling vgic-init(). This change breaks the existing KVM functionality with QEMU
hypervisor tool. In later patches, code assumes vgic_v4_init(kvm) was called when
vgic_has_its(kvm) returns a true value.

The right change would be move this logic to inside vgic_its_create() something like this.
