Juergen Gross c8d647a326 xen/pvcallsback: use lateeoi irq binding
In order to reduce the chance for the system becoming unresponsive due
to event storms triggered by a misbehaving pvcallsfront use the lateeoi
irq binding for pvcallsback and unmask the event channel only after
handling all write requests, which are the ones coming in via an irq.

This requires modifying the logic a little bit to not require an event
for each write request, but to keep the ioworker running until no
further data is found on the ring page to be processed.

This is part of XSA-332.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
