I am considering whether I need to use a new type(like IRQT_GSI) here to 
distinguish with IRQT_PIRQ, because function restore_pirqs will process all 
IRQT_PIRQ.

restore_pirqs() already considers gsi == 0 to be not GSI related. Isn't this
enough?
No, it is not enough.
xen_pvh_add_gsi_irq_map adds the mapping of gsi and irq, but the value of gsi 
is not 0,
once restore_pirqs is called, it will do PHYSDEVOP_map_pirq for that gsi, but 
in pvh dom0, we shouldn't do PHYSDEVOP_map_pirq.

Okay, then add a new flag to info->u.pirq.flags for that purpose?
I feel like adding "new flag to info->u.pirq.flags" is not as good as adding " new type 
to info->type".
Because in restore_pirqs, it considers " info->type != IRQT_PIRQ", if adding " new flag 
to info->u.pirq.flags", we need to add a new condition in restore_pirqs.
And actually this mapping(gsi and irq of pvh) doesn't have pirq, so it is not 
suitable to add to u.pirq.flags.

Does this mean there is no other IRQT_PIRQ related activity relevant for those
GSIs/IRQs? In that case I agree to add IRQT_GSI.
