Subject: xen: Fix possible page fault in fifo events

sync_test_bit function require a long* read access to pointer.
This is a problem if the you are using last entry in the page causing
an access to next page. If this page is not readable you get a memory
access failure (page fault).
All other x64 bit functions access memory using 32 bit operations.
For processors different than x64 long aligned operations are used.
