What I want is to allow PHYSDEVOP_map_pirq when currd doesn't have PIRQs, but 
subject domain has.
Then I just add "break" in hvm_physdev_op without any checks, that will cause 
self-mapping problems.
And in previous mail thread, you suggested me to prevent self-mapping when 
subject domain doesn't have PIRQs.
So I added checks in do_physdev_op.
