The problem is to find the "appropriate time". It would require to
define
a point in the save sequence where we transition the state from HW to
SW. I'm not keen on adding more state than we already have.

But what we can do is to just ask the HW to give us the right state
on userspace access, at all times. How about this:

vgic_put_irq(vcpu->kvm, irq);
I can add this to "KVM: arm64: GICv4.1: Add direct injection capability
to SGI registers".

Indeed. I've now dropped the has_gicv4.1 check.

I'm unsure of what you're suggesting here. If userspace tries to set
GICD_CTLR.nASSGIreq on a non-4.1 host, this bit will not latch.
Userspace can check that at restore time. Or we could fail the
userspace write, which is a bit odd (the bit is otherwise RES0).

Could you clarify your proposal?
