[PATCH] xen: use the trigger info we already have to choose the irqhandler

[Stefano Stabellini]

Do not use pirq_needs_eoi to decide which irq handler to use because Xen
always returns true if the guest does not support pirq_eoi_map.
Use the trigger information we already have from MP-tables and ACPI.
