Commit 23bde34771 ("KVM: arm64: vgic-v3: Drop the
reporting of GICR_TYPER.Last for userspace") temporarily fixed
a bug identified when attempting to access the GICR_TYPER
register before the redistributor region setting, but dropped
the support of the LAST bit.
Emulating the GICR_TYPER.Last bit still makes sense for
architecture compliance though. This patch restores its support
(if the redistributor region was set) while keeping the code safe.
We introduce a new helper, vgic_mmio_vcpu_rdist_is_last() which
computes whether a redistributor is the highest one of a series
of redistributor contributor pages.
With this new implementation we do not need to have a uaccess
read accessor anymore.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
