Do_softirq is invoked at the path of ia64_leave_kernel instead of being invoking in function irq_exit, which is aligned with XEN/X86 and avoids __enter_schedule being reentered. VTIdomain can boot again after applying this patch.

BTW, a small bug is fixed.
- (p6)  br.call.sptk.many b0=deliver_pending_interrupt
+(pUStk)        br.call.sptk.many b0=deliver_pending_interrupt
Since P6 is scratch register, after returning from deliver_pending_interrupt, p6 may be changed. But p6 is also used by subsequent code and should not be changed.

Should I check in this patch instead of your earlier one (which used xen_irq_exit instead or irq_exit?).
