Subject: [PATCH] xen: dom0 apic programming hooks

This series implements the hooks requires for interrupt management.

The relationship between Xen and the dom0 kernel with respect to the
interrupt hardware is interesting.  Xen owns the local apics,
but the dom0 kernel is responsible for managing the IO apics.

We hook acpi_register_gsi so that when an interrupt is being
routed, we intercept the routing.  Given a gsi, we allocate
ask Xen to allocate a vector for the particular io_apic+pin,
set up a pirq event channel for that vector, and route the
event channel into the normal interrupt pathways.

We reserve a range of irq space so we can 1:1 map irqs to gsis,
and then use higher irqs for Xen's event-channel-only interrupt
sources.

Despite being responsible for controlling them, dom0 kernel doesn't
have a real mapping of the IO APICs, and so must program their registers
with hypercalls.  At the moment this is just done with straightforward
hooks in io_apic_read/write/etc.  We could also use a io_apic_ops-style
approach, but there's not much point if there are no other users.
