I think the thing is that we should _not_ try to configure vSGIs at all
if kvm-arm.vgic_v4_enable=0 (which indicates we don't allow use of the
GICv4 of direct injection).

We currently set kvm_vgic_global_state.has_gicv4_1 to true if HW support
GICv4.1, regardless whatever the gicv4_enable is (see patch#23 -
vgic_v3_probe).  I think this is what actually needs fixing.
