How so? The PMU and the arch timer emulation use PPIs, so intid is
definitely < VGIC_NR_PRIVATE_IRQS there.

I am not sure I follow.
To uniquely identify an SPI interrupt, we just need the interrupt ID
(which is always >= 32). For PPIs and SGIs, we additionally need the
vCPU ID this private interrupt belongs to, as there are multiple
interrupts with the same INTID (one per VCPU).
The VCPU ID passed in for SPIs is just a dummy value (because we use the
same function to inject private and shared interrupts), so we don't need
to check for its validity.

Cheers,
Andre.
