KVM really doesn't need such a non-feature. Specially as it cannot be
implemented without an actual GICv3 in HW, for obvious reasons.
My not-so-secret plan is to eventually deprecate the userspace
interface anyway, as it has been bitrotting for quite some time, and
can be replaced with an in-kernel GICv2 emulation.
But this is getting majorly off-topic in this thread...
