xen: handle events as edge-triggered
Xen events are logically edge triggered, as Xen only calls the event upcall when an event is newly set, but not continuously as it remains set. As a result, use handle_edge_irq rather than handle_level_irq. This has the important side-effect of fixing a long-standing bug of events getting lost if: - an event's interrupt handler is running - the event is migrated to a different vcpu - the event is re-triggered The most noticable symptom of these lost events is occasional lockups of blkfront. Many thanks to Tom Kopec and Daniel Stodden in tracking this down.
