Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [VTD][PATCH] Fix ISA IRQ alias issue
This patch doesn't change EOI of PCI-ISA IRQs via IO-APIC, it just uses
a separate function to handle EOI of PCI-ISA IRQs via the PIC. Without
this patch, assigning multiple devices to guest which uses PIC maybe
results in disabling the IRQ.
