I think the patch looks fine for now.  But now that we seem to have
unified the use of vectors (I haven't looked at the current code closely
yet), I'd like to move Xen to mapping event channels -> vectors rather
than IRQs, and have the per-cpu event channels share an irq.  That will
dramatically decrease the irq requirements for a PV domU (to 6 irqs +
devices, rather than 6/cpu + devices; a typical domain may only need 10
irqs overall).
