Subject: [PATCH RFC 4/4] xen/pvhvm: Make MSI IRQs work after kexec

When kexec was peformed MSI IRQs for passthrough-ed devices were already
mapped and we see non-zero pirq extracted from MSI msg. xen_irq_from_pirq()
fails as we have no IRQ mapping information for that. Requesting for new
mapping with __write_msi_msg() does not result in MSI IRQ being remapped so
we don't recieve these IRQs.

RFC: I wasn't able to understand why commit af42b8d1 which introduced
xen_irq_from_pirq() check in xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs() is checking that instead
of checking pirq > 0 as if the mapping was already done (and we have pirq>0 here)
we don't need to request for a new pirq. We're loosing existing PIRQ and I'm also
not sure when __write_msi_msg() with new PIRQ will result in new mapping.
