Actually, dom0 doesn't programe ioapic pins directly as you said, but the work is done by dom0 in the indirect way. For dom0, I added a hypercall PHYSDEVOP_setup_gsi before, and with this hypercall, we can get rid of programing IOAPIC pins from dom0 and hypervisor helps to do the ioapic programming, but we still need to get correct GSI information from hypervisor, otherwise, the hypercall may meet issues.
