Another glance shows:

(2.6.32):
[    3.502771] ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 9 global_irq 20 low level)
[    3.502773] xen: sci override: source_irq=9 global_irq=20 trigger=c polarity=3
[    3.502775] xen: registering gsi 20 triggering 0 polarity 1
[    3.502780]   alloc irq_desc for 20 on node 0

So it has IRQ 9 mapped to IRQ 20 while in 3.0:

[    3.803695] xen: --> pirq=7 -> irq=7
[    3.803699] xen: --> pirq=8 -> irq=8
[    3.803702] xen: --> pirq=10 -> irq=10

we skip over IRQ 9. We should have gotten something like this:

[    7.059735] xen_map_pirq_gsi: returning irq 20 for gsi 9
[    7.064933] xen: --> pirq=20 -> irq=9

But we did not. If you can instrument 'acpi_get_override_irq' to see
at which of the numerous 'return -1' it fails  that might narrow down
the issue.
