The GIC_MIN_BPR constant defines the minimum BPR value that the TCG emulated GICv3 supports. We're currently using this also as the value we reset the KVM GICv3 ICC_BPR registers to, but this is only right by accident.
We want to make the emulated GICv3 use a configurable number of priority bits, which means that GIC_MIN_BPR will no longer be a constant. Replace the uses in the KVM reset code with literal 0, plus a constant explaining why this is reasonable.
