Sure. I will stick to making two hypercalls.

Yes, there is a possibility of that happening, but chances are really 
slim. I will drop the idea of binding evtchn to smp_processor_id and 
instead change the logic to use a per_cpu(int) to hold last used cpu and 
then use cpu_next_and(last_cpu, affinity, cpu_online_mask) to get next cpu.
