This improves the IRQ forwarding for assigned devices: By using the
kernel's threaded IRQ scheme, we can get rid of the latency-prone work
queue and simplify the code in the same run.
Moreover, we no longer have to hold assigned_dev_lock while raising the
guest IRQ, which can be a lenghty operation as we may have to iterate
over all VCPUs. The lock is now only used for synchronizing masking vs.
unmasking of INTx-type IRQs, thus is renames to intx_lock.
Nice stuff.

Ok, so .flags was used to handle the delay between the interrupt handler
and the work queue, which is now done automatically by threaded
interrupts. Good.

Should eventually be done from interrupt context. msix delivery only
needs a routing table lookup and smp reschedule IPI, which can be done
from interrupt context.
