Hi Gerry,

These patches fix the first symptom of the powerbutton not working.

Unfortunately it doesn't fix the second symptoms with pci-passthrough,
the device still doesn't receive irq's on intel and the video device still haas
issues on AMD.

What i have tested extensively and works stable for me is:
david's patch + revert of cffe0a2b5a34c95a4dadc9ec7132690a5b0f6687 "x86, irq: Keep balance of IOAPIC pin reference count" 

Hope that helps in finding the solution.
