Subject: [PATCH v3 5/9] xen/pvh: Make sure we don't use ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PIC for SCI

Since we are not using PIC and (at least currently) don't have IOAPIC
we want to make sure that acpi_irq_model doesn't stay set to
ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PIC (which is the default value). If we allowed it to
stay then acpi_os_install_interrupt_handler() would try (and fail) to
request_irq() for PIC.

Instead we set the model to ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PLATFORM which will prevent
this from happening.

Changes in v3:
* Moved update of acpi_irq_model to x86_init.oem.arch_setup() (i.e.
  after ACPI has been initialized so we know whether or not we have
  IOAPICs). Clarified comit message.
* Moved xen_hvm_init_shared_info() into patch 4.
