    PCI, x86: Implement pcibios_alloc_irq() and pcibios_free_irq()
    
    To support IOAPIC hotplug, we need to allocate PCI IRQ resources on
demand
    and free them when not used anymore.
    
    Implement pcibios_alloc_irq() and pcibios_free_irq() to dynamically
    allocate and free PCI IRQs.
    
    Remove mp_should_keep_irq(), which is no longer used.
