Makes some sense: Add KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_CPU, and kvm_irq_routing_entry's
union would require some struct kvm_irq_routing_cpu containing the
target identifier.
However, I would recommend to carefully check the generic irq routing
bits before use - if they still contain some x86/ia64 specifics or
unwanted irqchip_in_kernel().
