More or less.  Xen currently uses 6 per-cpu event channels, and it maps
each to its own irq.  My plan is to allocate just 6 irqs, map 6 vectors
to them, and bind each event channel to a vector/cpu pair.  If nothing
else, it will make /proc/interrupts somewhat sane again.

When irqs are truely dynamically allocated?
