Subject: [PATCH v2] xen/events: Always allocate legacy interrupts on PV guests

After commit 8c058b0b9c34 ("x86/irq: Probe for PIC presence before
allocating descs for legacy IRQs") early_irq_init() will no longer
preallocate descriptors for legacy interrupts if PIC does not
exist, which is the case for Xen PV guests.

Therefore we may need to allocate those descriptors ourselves.

v2: Use nr_legacy_irqs() instead of NR_IRQS_LEGACY (needs definition for ARM)
