[3/4] xen/domain: Remove #ifndef surrounding alloc_pirq_struct()

None of the supported architecture override alloc_pirq_struct() with
a macro. So remove the #ifdef surrounding the prototype.

Is this really a helpful change. Back then ia64 had a #define for
this, and a future port may want to do so as well. Is there
anything actively problematic with leaving this untouched?

I did notice it was used by ia64 but I am unconvinced this is going to 
be used in the future. Most likely because there is singler caller for 
alloc_pirq_struct() and this is not a hot path. So using a static 
inline/macro is not really a good solution here.

Yes, this doesn't reduce the amount of unused code we have and will 
unlikely to be used in the future. If we really need it then we can 
re-introduce it.

Cheers,
