I added another global_event_mask in share page.
1. before injecting to event_callback_handler, set global_event_mask to 1 to
disable event inject..
2. after event_callback_handler is executed, it will return to ia64_leave_kernel
assembly code in dom0, in this assembly code, it sets global_event_mask to 0
to enable event inject.
There is no other code operating the global_event_mask.
Global_event_mask is initiated to 0(unmask).
Only global_event_mask is 0 and vcpu->vcpu_info->evtchn_upcall_mask is 0,
Can XEN injects to event_callback_handler of dom0.
