Fixed.

Yes. The reason for dropping it was that the xenwatch thread provides
the neccessary locking for the states. So no more need for this
spin_lock.

I made it '>=' The Xen PCI (arch/x86/pci/xen.c) and Xen Events (riers/xen/events.c)
are both OK with an IRQ of zero. So lets be uniform and be OK here too.

Umm. I was in a hurry to test it out and just in case it would fail I
made it a comment. And then forgot about it. Removed that comented out
