Process the PIR at the natural kernel width, i.e. in 64-bit chunks on 64-bit kernels, so that the worst case of having a posted IRQ in each chunk of the vIRR only requires 4 loads and xchgs from/to the PIR, not 8. Deliberately use a "continue" to skip empty entries so that the code is a carbon copy of handle_pending_pir(), in anticipation of deduplicating KVM and posted MSI logic.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
