This looks good, thank you. I can't test this because I don't have a
GICv3 box atm. The last one I had died somehow.
I pull that patch into my next RT release and ask for some feedback.
One question: You have
	its_allocate_pending_table(GFP_NOWAIT);

for the allocation. Shouldn't GFP_KERNEL do the job, too?
