Hmm, looking at the code, wouldn't it make sense to give device model
domain access to the IRQ _instead of_ hardware domain? If stubdomain is
in use, I don't see why dom0 would need access to that irq. Simply
provide what the device model domain is as parameter - either
hardware_domain, or stubdomain. Something like:

    create_irq(..., current->domain->target == d ? current->domain : 
hardware_domain);
