Unfortunately I'm seeing a build breakage for the 32-bit x86 build.

Reason is that drivers/xen/acpi.c is being built for Dom0 only, so having
CONFIG_XEN_ACPI defined is not enough for ensuring the new functions are
present.

I suggest to add a new CONFIG item CONFIG_XEN_DOM0_ACPI like

config XEN_DOM0_ACPI
	def_bool y
	depends on XEN_ACPI && XEN_DOM0

and then replace all CONFIG_XEN_ACPI instances in your patch with
CONFIG_XEN_DOM0_ACPI. This includes the use case in
privcmd_ioctl_pcidev_get_gsi().
