This patch provides request_evtchn and free_evtchn, intended

using Linux IRQs.
Why would you not hook into the IRQ subsystem? This doesn't seem like a
useful patch to me.
This abstraction is useful for getting VBD/VNIF working as modules on
unmodified Linux running on VT domains (both x86 and ia64).
