You don't need to allocate it for idle VCPU. Can you move it after the
if ( is_idle_vcpu(v)) ?

Somewhere here.

I'm surprised that we save theses registers for idle VCPU but not
restored...

With my request, you will have to add an if ( is_idle_vcpu(v) ) return
in gic_save_state.

if ( !v->arch.gic_state )
