We can actually handle the remapping in the hypervisor. I'll add a comment to that effect.

I understand your point here, but I'm having trouble making it play out. When I look at this, the only functions or structures which are supplied straight from exports (in my proposed patches) are irq_chip_ack_parent(), pci_msi_prepare() and x86_vector_domain. The other exports either already exist for other reasons or they're needed within functions that I need to supply. If you feel strongly that adding a new function to avoid exporting these is the right way to go, I'll do it, but I want to confirm that first.

Thanks,
