This is just a shot in the dark, because I don't really have enough
context to understand what's going on here, but see below.

I've taken a look at this on my box, and it seems like on
dom0 the value returned by /sys/bus/pci/devices/SBDF/irq is not
very consistent.

If devices are in use by a driver the irq sysfs node reports either
the GSI irq or the MSI IRQ (in case a single MSI interrupt is
setup).

It seems like pciback in Linux does something to report the correct
value:

root@lcy2-dt107:~# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:14.0/irq
74
root@lcy2-dt107:~# xl pci-assignable-add 00:14.0
root@lcy2-dt107:~# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:14.0/irq
16

As you can see, making the device assignable changed the value
reported by the irq node to be the GSI instead of the MSI IRQ, I would
think you are missing something similar in the PVH setup (some pciback
magic)?

Albeit I have no idea why you would need to translate from IRQ to GSI
in the way you do in this and related patches, because I'm missing the
context.
