Writing to the specific HPA is most likely a SMP issue as well, but if we
go the route of using global broadcast interrupts, we should leave some
__really__ large handwriting on the wall for when SMP gets dealt with.
The mad dash to handle an interrupt is a great way to thrash the machine.

Likewise, if there's a clean way to get the processor HPA in the IRQ value,
there is no reason not to do it now, and avoid tracking down the problems
later.
