Instead of hard coding the architected redistributor stride into the
code, lets use a clear #define to the two values for GICv3 and GICv4 and
clarify the algorithm to determine the needed stride value.

Is there anything in the spec promising you that *all* the redistributors will support vLPIs?

Answering to myself, Marc pointed out that nothing was promising all redistributors will support vLPIs. This is confirmed by the section 9.7 "Mixing GICv3 and GICv4" in "GICv3 and GICv4 Software Overview" DAI 0492B.

So I would prefer to drop that patch and move GICV*_GICR_SIZE definition in patch #5. I am assuming we will never expose a mix of GICv3/GICv4 on Xen.

Cheers,
