[Qemu-devel] [RFC 4/4] hw/intc/arm_gicv3_its: Allow save/restore

[Eric Auger]

We change the restoration priority of both the GICv3 and ITS. The
GICv3 must be restored before the ITS and the ITS needs to be restored
before PCIe devices since it translates their MSI transactions.

We typically observe the virtio-pci-net device sending MSI transactions
very early (even before the first vcpu run) which looks weird. It
appears that not servicing those transactions cause the virtio-pci-net
to stall.
