So, at first glance this looks correct until I noticed that
its_cpu_init_lpis() is being called before the early_initcalls are run.

This results in the WARN_ON triggering with the following backtrace:

[ 0.000000] its_cpu_init_lpis+0x1d4/0x2e0
[ 0.000000] its_cpu_init+0x78/0x1b4
[ 0.000000] gic_init_bases+0x2c4/0x2e0

[ 0.000000] init_IRQ+0xfc/0x130
[ 0.000000] start_kernel+0x344/0x4cc

due to the efi_memreserve_root not yet being set.
