I am still feel weird with this change: according the semantic of VT-d 
posted interrupt, the interrupt will injected to guest through posted 
notification and /proc/interrupts shows the same meaning. But now, 
without being aware of user, the interrupt changes to legacy way and it 
appears on different entry on /proc/interrupts. It looks weird.

Any comments? Paolo.
