This looks like it would fix the culprit:
[edit: not entirely]

Thought I am not sure if this is absolutly correct. Are the PIRQs == GSI or should
we provide another piece of code to extract info->u.pirq.gsi?

I also see this when using xen-pciback.hide=..

pciback 0000:00:1d.7: found PCI INT A -> IRQ 14
pciback 0000:00:1d.7: sharing IRQ 14 with 0000:00:1d.0

pciback 0000:00:1d.1: sharing IRQ 5 with 0000:00:1a.2
..
.. which are clearly the Linux IRQ's, not the PIRQ/GSI values,
so some other patch for the xen-pciback will be needed as well.
