Switching Julien to his Citrix address which should probably be used in
the future.

I may have slightly lost track, but I think we decided in Julien's
passthrough thread not to use most of these interfaces on ARM, or am I
confused?

If I'm correct then I think we can avoid messing with many of other
ones, for example the ISA IRQ one doesn't need changing, does it? (ISA
only had 16 IRQs IIRC...)

I think it would be best if whichever bits of this are still relevant
were folded into Julien's '[PATCH v5 p2 04/19] xen/arm: Implement
hypercall DOMCTL_{,un}bind_pt_pirq' or at least presented as a followup
to it.

I think we weren't going to end up using this one either, but again I
might not be remembering correctly.
