+Specify a device address in the guest's physical address space where guests
+can access emulated or directly exposed devices, which the host kernel needs
+to know about. The id field is an architecture specific identifier for a
+specific device.
+
+ARM divides the id field into two parts, a device id and an address type id
+specific to the individual device.
+
+  bits: | 63 ... 32 | 31 ... 16 | 15 ... 0 |
+ field: | 0x00000000 | device id | addr type id |
+
+ARM currently only require this when using the in-kernel GIC support for the
+hardware VGIC features, using KVM_ARM_DEVICE_VGIC_V2 as the device id. When
+setting the base address for the guest's mapping of the VGIC virtual CPU
+and distributor interface, the ioctl must be called after calling
+KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, but before calling KVM_RUN on any of the VCPUs. Calling
+this ioctl twice for any of the base addresses will return -EEXIST.
