One thing which I realised is not covered is where the `struct
pending_irq` for vLPIs comes from. I propose to make that a dynamically
allocated array (allocated on domain construction) in `struct domain`
alongside the similar array for SPIs

This avoids the need to manage allocations and tree insertions etc
during command processing.

I won't send a draft F for just that though.
