On our D05 board, this limits the lpis to 2 and results in MSI irq alloc fails:

[ 0.000000] ITS: Using hypervisor restricted LPI range [2]
....
[ 10.543889] ixgbe 000a:11:00.1: Failed to allocate MSI interrupt, falling back to legacy. Error: -12

I don't have the GICv3 extension doc, but did you intent to check for,

if (numlpis > 2 && !WARN_ON(numlpis > lpis)) {

as it looks like D05 returns 0 for bits 11-15 and that makes numlpis=2.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shameer
