Apologies for the previous spam of this patch - I failed somewhat with
patchbomb.

2 things come to mind.

1) This affects all versions of Xen since per-cpu idts were introduces,
so is a candidate for backporting to all relevant trees.

2) What would the tradeoff be with adding a "u8 old_vector" to irq_cfg? 
It would increase the size of the cfg structure but would avoid several
pieces of code which loop through all dynamic vectors and check if the
irq vector matches?
