We are talking about some extra io-apic configuration bits, that
happen to currently be private to dmar.c.

chip_data, handler_data I can never keep those straight except
when I am deep in the code.  What I do know is that encouraging
more arrays of size MAX_IO_APICS seems like the wrong direction.

Which probably means adding the information we need to struct irq_cfg.
