I think it makes sense to track "irq" as a signed int, so that the !device path
can set it to -1.  Then it can be printed somewhat blindly without being outright
wrong.

Print the IRQ in the assert.  Ditto for the pCPU in the future.  Providing more
debug information is nice, but it should *always* be secondary to providing info
in the assert/error itself.

		TEST_ASSERT(GUEST_RECEIVED_INTERRUPT(vcpu, do_use_nmi),
			    "vCPU %d timed out waiting for %s (vector 0x%x) from GSI %d (via CPU %d)\n",
			    vcpu->id, do_use_nmi ? "NMI" : "IRQ",
			    do_use_nmi ? NMI_VECTOR : vector, gsi, irq_cpu);
