xen: handle events as edge-triggered
Xen events are logically edge triggered, as Xen only calls the event
upcall when an event is newly set, but not continuously as it remains set.
As a result, use handle_edge_irq rather than handle_level_irq.
This has the important side-effect of fixing a long-standing bug of
events getting lost if:
- an event's interrupt handler is running
- the event is migrated to a different vcpu
- the event is re-triggered
The most noticable symptom of these lost events is occasional lockups
of blkfront.
Many thanks to Tom Kopec and Daniel Stodden in tracking this down.
