Subject: [PATCH 38 of 38] xen: make sure that softirqs get handled at the end
	of event processing

Make sure that irq_enter()/irq_exit() wrap the entire event processing
loop, rather than each individual event invokation.  This make sure
that softirq processing is deferred until the of event processing,
rather than in the middle with interrupts disabled.
