I think you should add both. I believe there's not necessarily a guaranteed
mapping of every ISA IRQ into GSI namespace. I don't strongly insist on this
now if you know what you're doing and only want to include MAP_IRQ_TYPE_GSI.
The names should be MAP_PIRQ_* and PHYSDEVOP_[un]map_pirq, by the way.
Another comment I have is that it doesn't look like the per-domain-pirq
patch is compatible with old dom0 kernels if msi_irq_enable is specified on
the Xen command line. That's a bit sucky, especially since we're sure to
want to make msi_irq_enable the default after these patches have had some
testing. I'm not sure what to suggest as the better way to achieve backward
compatibility. I'll have a think about it...
