Allow for arch specific virq definition.

IA64 arch defines some more percpu events, like perfmon
and MCA (Machine Check Abort), which can be categorized
into VIRQ type since generated by xen just like virtual
timer. Though I've not tidy up more types to be really
added, this patch first gives chance.

The way you've defined it makes it hard to add more base virqs (as that would shift the arch-specific virq numbers, which is unacceptable as they are visible to guests). How about doing as for hypercalls and define VIRQ_ARCH_0...VIRQ_ARCH_7 as virqs 16-23, say?
