Thanks, will re-work to:
When doing device passthrough where interrupts are being forwarded from
host to guest, we wish to use a pinned section of guest memory as the
vector (the same memory used by the guest as the vector).
To accomplish this, add a new parameter for airq_iv_create which allows
passing an existing vector to be used instead of allocating a new one.
The caller is responsible for ensuring the vector is pinned in memory as
well as for unpinning the memory when the vector is no longer needed.
A subsequent patch will use this new parameter for zPCI interpretation.
