We could possibly hide the legacy controller, but that has its own
challenges. Notably, the LIC allows configuration for forwarding FIQ
vs IRQ, and setting wake-up sources.

If we accept limitations to those configurations, we could possibly
hide it entirely (or just for non-Dom0 guests with device
passthrough?), and then I think we would need platform hooks for
accomplishing the masking/unmasking/eoi alongside the vgic.  If we
don't want to limit the configuration options - we would need to
surface the mediated LIC in the device trees for guests with device
pass-through.

Will incorporate rest of review into next version, thanks!
