Hi,

lr_mask doesn't have bits set beyond the hardware limit, with the upper bits
remaining zero.  Therefore, for_each_set_bit() is a better option.

For ARM64, bloat-o-meter reports:

   Function                                     old     new   delta
   vgic_sync_from_lrs                           208     168     -40

but this doesn't highlight that it also removes a call to find_next_bit() from
each loop iteration.

No functional change.

RFC.  This form also doesn't suffer an OoB read when lr_mask changes type.

And potentially unaligned as well. On Arm 32, this would result to a crash because for forbid unaligned access.
