The MADT only provides the base addresses and not the size. The default
value has been chosen based on the GICv2 spec (ARM IHI 0048B.b)
* GICV: See 5.5
* GICH: I can't find again the section about it. But the example
bindings in
Documents/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/arm,gic.txt uses 8K.

I will add a comment in the code explaining where the 8K come from.

Cheers,
