Our automated tests still use 2.6.32. It wouldn't surprise me if upstream
Linux 3 doesn't have the pirq_eoi_map stuff; it's an optimisation rather
than core absolutely-required functionality.

It's the dom0 PV kernel that matters in this case by the way, not the kernel
that you are running in HVM mode as a domU.
