Because we don't know the real nr_pirqs anymore (PHYSDEVOP_get_nr_pirqs
has been removed), so it is highly possible that starting from the top
down would give us pirq numbers out of range in Xen.  Therefore we need
to start from the bottom up, and the bottom for Xen is 16.

Yeah, I guess we could do that. I kept it around just to make it more
obvious that the max pirq number is different from nr_irqs and we don't
know what the exact value is.
