[ Upstream commit fd1d0ddf ]

When userland injects a SPI via the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl we currently
only check it against a fixed limit, which historically is set
to 127. With the new dynamic IRQ allocation the effective limit may
actually be smaller (64).
So when now a malicious or buggy userland injects a SPI in that
range, we spill over on our VGIC bitmaps and bytemaps memory.
I could trigger a host kernel NULL pointer dereference with current
mainline by injecting some bogus IRQ number from a hacked kvmtool:
