Acked-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@...rix.com>

But can you change the subject/commit message to:

    xen/events: support threaded irqs for interdomain event channels

    Export bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irq() so drivers can use threaded
    interrupt handlers with:

     irq = bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irq(remote_dom, remote_port);
     if (irq < 0)
         /* error */
     ret = request_threaded_irq(...);

Since your pvscsi series depends on this you will want to add this to
that series to be merged via the scsi tree.
