This looks plausible in general, but...

This is all a mess.  This "auto unmask pirq eoi with shared memory"
thing seems pretty pointless if we need to go to all this effort to
remask again, and I didn't see any other point to it aside from that. 
So if this works, we may as well revert "xen/events: use
PHYSDEVOP_pirq_eoi_gmfn to get pirq need-EOI info".
