XSA-36 changed the default vector map mode from global to per-device.  This is
because a global vector map does not prevent one PCI device from impersonating
another and launching a DoS on the system.

However, the per-device vector map logic is broken for devices with multiple
MSI-X vectors, which can either result in a failed ASSERT() or misprogramming
of a guests interrupt remapping tables.  The core problem is not trivial to
fix.

In an effort to get AMD systems back to a non-regressed state, introduce a new
type of vector map called per-device-global.  This uses per-device vector maps
in the IOMMU, but uses a single used_vector map for the core IRQ logic.

This patch is intended to be removed as soon as the per-device logic is fixed
correctly.

Can we get a decision on this?  The 4.3 is looming and multi MSI-X PCI
functions are *still* broken on AMD systems, in all stable versions of
Xen, regressed by XSA-36.

 From my understanding of the points so far, we have agreed that this
patch is suitable for 4.3 and previous, with Jan's multi-MSI series
being the correct solution going forwards into 4.4.
Since the feedback suggesting that cleaning up is probably not necessary, the only thing is probably the use of the word "BUG". Could it be replaced with "Workaround" instead?

The only query at the moment is for the exact wording, which has had no
attention for a week.

Changes since v2:
  * Do not override command line.
  * reuse OPT_IRQ_VECTOR_MAP_GLOBAL.

Changes since v1:
  * Correct stupid mistake in commit message, making it confusing to read
