Thanks for help to solve this issue.

The IB under Xen is another step forward :)

However, the driver itself complain about to not receiving IRQ. But the IRQ
*is* received. mthca_eq_int is performed but next_eqe_sw returns NULL becouse
MTHCA_EQ_ENTRY_OWNER_HW is set.

Any idea what could be wrong?
