Xen pv 64 will work at least as well with a larger definition for
NR_IRQS as it will work with a smaller definition, and since
NR_VECTORS is 256 we always have more irqs with the 32bit definition
we were mistakenly using. 

Xen has 1024 event channels so I expect 1024 would the nice number to
provide there.
