I didn't want to expose the concept of PIRQs to PVH.
I did this patch is for HVM that use PIRQs, what I said in commit message is
HVM will map a pirq for gsi, not PVH.
For the original code, it checks " !has_pirq(currd)", but currd is PVH dom0, so
it failed. So I need to allow PHYSDEVOP_map_pirq
even currd has no PIRQs, but the subject domain has.

Thanks, I will change in next version.
