Sorry to notice that the vector is not managed at all :$
Currently assign_irq_vector() only checks IO_APIC_VECTOR(irq), while for 
AUTO_ASSIGN situation, there is no management at all.
I'm considering if we can check the irq_desc[vector]'s handler to see if the 
vector has assigned or not.

Also noticed following snipt in  setupOneDevice in 
python/xen/xend/server/pciif.py, I suspect it should have less space before it. 
Also maybe now it is better to be placed under pciback.
           rc = xc.physdev_map_pirq(domid = fe_domid,
                                   index = dev.irq,
                                   pirq  = dev.irq)
