This breaks the interface to IOMMU-specific code: While Intel's
implementation does bump the number of allocated IRTEs to a
power of 2, AMD's doesn't, and hence the tail entries in the block
that don't get allocated here can get used for another device,
thus creating a security hole when both devices aren't owned by
the same guest (with the host being considered a special kind of
guest for this purpose).

IOW, while you can conserve on the number of vectors allocated,
you can't on the IRTEs, and I think this should be taken care of in
the generic IOMMU code, not in the individual vendor
implementations.
