I certainly could not find the code that would let you setup a pirq for another
domain. In fact the pirq code aka alloc_vectors appears to hard code dom0
in Xen 3.4.
pci-passthrough since it is domU, and since you describe it as well isolated and
comparatively simple should be a shoe in.
Further as you describe it pci-passthrough is a subset of what we have to do
for dom0.
So if we can I would like to see the pci passthrough code get merged first.
