You are right. I am not certain, but it seems like a mistake in the
toolstack to me. In theory, pci_add_dm_done should only be needed for PV
guests, not for HVM guests. I am not sure. But I can see the call to
xc_physdev_map_pirq you were referring to now.

I think the mismatch was actually caused by the xc_physdev_map_pirq call
from QEMU, which makes sense because in any case it should happen before
the same call done by pci_add_dm_done (pci_add_dm_done is called after
sending the pci passthrough QMP command to QEMU). So the first to hit
the IRQ!=GSI problem would be QEMU.
