IIRC, it's actually the correct way to do this here: the problem is that
the PCI IRQs are not directly connected to the GIC, but instead there is
a nested irqchip that has each PCI IRQ routed to it and that requires
an extra EOI for each interrupt.

The interrupt-map in the PCI host points to this special irqchip rather
than to the GIC.
