At this point we haven't parsed ACPI yet (with or without rsdp_paddr,
which we don't set anyway for domU) so we don't know whether we have PIC
or IOAPIC.

Having said that, I will probably remove this ("acpi_irq_model =
ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PLATFORM", together with the comment) since I am working
on adding SCI support via an event channel and ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PIC model,
which is default, seems to work OK.

Alternatively, I may keep ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PLATFORM but then I'd need to
make changes to acpi_gsi_to_irq().
