v4 has minor typo. I sent it too early. Here's fixed one.

v3 -> v4 Main changes are
- use pirq, pci_intx instead of irq_num in piix_pci.c
- patch 4/4 cleans the code a bit

4/4 needs more extensive tests. So please feel free to pick it up now or
drop it for now.

patch description:
This patch series optimizes irq data path of piix_pci.
So far piix3 tracks each pirq level and checks whether a given pic pins is
asserted by seeing if each pirq is mapped into the pic pin.
This is independent on irq routing, but data path is on slow path.

Given that irq routing is rarely changed and asserting pic pins is on
data path, the path that asserts pic pins should be optimized and
chainging irq routing should be on slow path.
The new behavior with this patch series is to use bitmap which is addressed
by pirq and pic pins with a given irq routing.
When pirq is asserted, the bitmap is set and see if the pic pins is
asserted by checking the bitmaps.
When irq routing is changed, rebuild the bitmap and re-assert pic pins.

Changes v4 -> v5:
- typo

Changes v3 -> v4:
- use pirq, pci_intx instead of irq_num in piix_pci.c
- use symbolic constant PIC_NUM_PINS 
- introduced new patch 4/4 which cleans up a bit.

Changes v2 -> v3:
- s/dummy_for_save_load_compat/pci_irq_levels_vmstate/g
- move down unused member of pci_irq_levels_vmstate in the structure
  for cache efficiency

Changes v1 -> v2:
- addressed review comments.

  pci: add accessor function to get irq levels
  piix_pci: eliminate PIIX3State::pci_irq_levels
  piix_pci: optimize set irq path
  piix_pci: load path clean up
