MAX_LPI and NR_GIC_LPI should be obtained from the hardware at init time
and put somewhere, like a global nr_lpis perhaps, to be used throughout.

  This MAX_LPI and NR_GIC_LPI is Xen limitation where in we
are allocating irq_descriptors statically upto NR_GIC_LPI.

Why? The design doc [1] suggested to allocate dynamically the irq_desc array for LPI at boot.

Using a static array will grow up the Xen binary by close to 4096 LPIs * 60 bytes (rough estimate) = 240 KB.

And this is for any AArch64 platform, no matter that ITS is in used or not.
