We should only try to initialize GICv4 data structures on a GICv4 capable system. Move the vgic_supports_direct_msis() check inito vgic_v4_init() so that any KVM VGIC initialization path does not fail on non-GICv4 systems. Also be slightly more strict in the checking of the return value in vgic_its_create, and only error out on negative return values from the vgic_v4_init() function. This is important because the kvm device code only treats negative values as errors and only cleans up in this case. Errornously treating a positive return value as an error from the vgic_v4_init() function can lead to NULL pointer dereferences, as has recently been observed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
