Well, patch is simple there is not much to say other that on the
firmware side I honestly do not see many options, either we remove the
ifdeffery above and make the check unconditional (ie we do check on
x86/ia64 too instead of always returning true) and see if things hold up
on x86 (at least we try) or we will never know and will never be able to
use this on x86 if there will ever be need.

It would be certainly weird to find out that a descriptor has a
resource_source pointer put there by mistake (because that's what we are
talking about, things work on x86/ia64 by ignoring the resource_source
pointer so any string there is just an unfortunate mistake AFAICS).

I am quite tempted to remove the ifdef and make the is_gsi() check effective on
x86/ia64 too.
