What are the requirements here?  Are these events delivered to dom0 to
indicate that something needs attention on the machine, or are they
delivered synchronously to whatever domain is currently running to say
that something bad needs immediate attention?
Both can happen (and also some more like "something happened somewhere, Just 
FYI").
They are all distingushed by different status bits.

If they're not synchronous, then why not use a normal virq event channel?
