the 1st test sequence handles the case where the legacy
KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST is used (!count) while the second handles
the case where the REDIST_REGION is used. Nevertheless I think this can
be simplified into:

        if (list_empty(rd_regions)) {
                if (index != 0)
                        return -EINVAL;
        } else {
                rdreg = list_last_entry(rd_regions,
                                        struct vgic_redist_region, list);

                if ((!count) != (!rdreg->count))
                        return -EINVAL; /* Mix REDIST and REDIST_REGION */

                if (!count)
                        return -EEXIST;

                if (index != rdreg->index + 1)
                        return -EINVAL;
        }

OK thank you for the detailed study.
