Hi Tony,
    Thanks for your comments, and sorry for the late reply.

We only set rte->refcnt to NO_REF_RTE if no device attach to this RTE when
unregister a GSI, and increase the rte->refcnt if the RTE is already existing
when register a GSI, so "rte" will not removed from rte_list when the
iosapic is removed.

Actually, the rte_list will keep static when remove/add a existing iosapic
after boot up.

Should we remove the RTE from the rte_list? if yes, we will have more
to do than this patch.

Thanks
Hanjun Guo
