It probably is a good thing that I wasn't on Cc for this patch,
because I would have immediately NAK'd it. Sudeep, please consider
this a retrospective NAK!

No. This is the wrong approach, and leads to inconsistent behaviour if
we ever change this MAX_IPI value. It also breaks 32 bit builds, and
makes things completely inconsistent between ACPI and DT.
I don't know how the FFA code was tested, because I cannot see how it
can work.
*IF* we are going to allow random SGIs being requested by random
drivers, we need to be able to do it properly. Not as a side hack like
this.
