Currently Intel interrupt remapping drivers uses the "present" flag bit
in remapping entry to track whether an entry is allocated or not.
It works as follow:
1) allocate a remapping entry and set its "present" flag bit to 1
2) compose other fields for the entry
3) update the remapping entry with the composed value
The remapping hardware may access the entry between step 1 and step 3,
which then observers an entry with the "present" flag set but random
values in all other fields.
This patch introduces a dedicated bitmap to track remapping entry
allocation status instead of sharing the "present" flag with hardware,
thus eliminate the race window. It also simplifies the implementation.
