Subject: [RFC] iommu/vt-d: Use the SIRTP when enabling remapping

The previous change (iommu/vt-d: Don't store SIRTP request) to this area
caused a crash in our simulator. In particular is seems that by the time a
UART interrupt is sent through the system, we don't see interrupt remapping
to be enabled.  So the interrupt does not get translated to a logical
interrupt and crashes.

OR'ing the SIRTP request to make sure it is seen but hopefully not sticky.
This seems like a clean fix, at least on our simulator; if you don't agree,
our simulator guy will take a closer look at our iommu model.

Found testing on our simulator, not real hardware.
