We go through quite a bit of trouble to make sure we pick up any preallocated LPI tables on the redistributors, as enabling LPIs is a one-way switch. There is no such restriction for vLPIs, and for GICv4.1 we expect to allocate a new vPE table at boot.
This works as intended when initializing an ITS, however when setting up a redistributor in its_cpu_init_lpis() the early return for preallocated RD tables skips straight past GICv4 setup. This all comes to a head when trying to kexec into a new kernel, as the new kernel silently fails to set up GICv4, leading to a complete loss of SGIs and LPIs for KVM VMs (ouch).
Slap a band-aid on the problem by ensuring its_cpu_init_lpis() always initializes GICv4 on the way out, even if the other RD tables were preallocated.

I debated a bit on the fixes tag between the blamed commit and commit 5e5168461c22 ("irqchip/gic-v4.1: VPE table (aka GICR_VPROPBASER) allocation"), although it would appear GICv4 could be left in an unknown state after kexec too.
