[Xen-devel] PATCH 1 of 2] Move IOMMU faults handling into softirq for VT-d.



Dealing with interrupts from VT-d IOMMU is deferred to a
softirq-tasklet, raised by the actual IRQ handler. Since a new interrupt
is not generated, even if further faults occur, until we cleared all the
pending ones, there's no need to disabling IRQs, as the hardware does it
by its own. Notice that this may cause the log to overflow, but none of
the existing entry will be overwritten.
