Do we check somewhere the virtual LPI ID does not exceed the capacity of
the VPT. I fail to find that in the irq-gic-v3-its.c driver.

Also in case the hw part fails, should we still have the irq->target_cpu
set to the new value. In other words shouldn't we first do the hw block
and upon success set the target_vcpu?

Thanks
