The overhead you talk about is calling setup_remapped_irq() for every
interrupt from the mp_register_gsi() call chain? MSI & HPET should happen only
once, or do I miss something?

all, not al

Still, the user could disable hpet or apic from the commandline but this
should cause any harm as the irq chips shouldn't be used then.

This looks like ehm, well not well.
Could you please change this to:
	ret = irq_remapping_enable();
	if (ret)
		return ret;

	irq_remap_modify_chips();

If you need this please use pr_debug and add a \n at the end.

chip is not required, and can be removed.
