GICH is banked, protect accesses by disabling interrupts.
Protect lr_queue accesses with the vgic.lock only.
gic.lock only protects accesses to GICD now.

When the interrupt is an SPI, the lr_queue is shared between every VCPU. 
Using only vgic.lock seems wrong to me.

Even though lr_queue is a field in a struct that can be per domain for
irq > 32, the lr_pending queue is always per vcpu, in fact it keeps
track of the irqs waiting to go into lr registers, that are banked.

It might have a race between adding and removing lr_queue. For now it's
safe because the SPIs are always routed to VCPU0 (even if the guest ask
to route on VCPU1).

Just by reading the code, nothing protect correctly SPIs between VCPUs.
We are only take vgic.lock, which is wrong.

Like you said, today SPIs are always routed to the same cpu.
When we'll implement IRQ migration we'll have to make sure that we take
the appropriate locks during the operation but I don't expect that this
patch is going to make things more difficult.

I'm fine with that. Can you create a TODO somewhere to not forget this
possible locking issue later?
