    xsm: add missing permissions discovered in testing
    
    Add two missing allow rules:
    
    1. Device model domain construction uses getvcpucontext, discovered by
    Andrew Cooper while chasing an unrelated issue.
    
    2. When a domain is destroyed with a device passthrough active, the
    calls to remove_{irq,ioport,iomem} can be made by the hypervisor itself
    (which results in an XSM check with the source xen_t).  It does not make
    sense to deny these permissions; no domain should be using xen_t, and
    forbidding the hypervisor from performing cleanup is not useful.
