[PATCH 1/5] xen: events: Process event channels notifications in round-robin order.

[Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com>]

From: Scott Rixner <rixner@rice.edu>

Avoids fairness issue resulting from domain 0 processing lowest
numbered event channel first.

Bugzilla #1115 "Event channel port scanning unfair".
