In the Linux kernel, xen_register_gsi (arch/x86/xen/pci.c). The io-apic
support in Xen is a copy of the Linux code and behaves similar.

No. The interrupt setup is always done before the device setup. This is
core kernel functionality.

Please explain why you think this is restricted to edge triggered. This
is called from the PCI interrupt setup, and usualy used with level
triggered interrupts.
