[Maverick] SRU: xen: events: do not unmask event channels on resume

We got it into Lucid/Lucid-ec2 but people also use Maverick (all kinds)
kernels in their Xen environment.

SRU Justification:

Impact: With the current kernels the kernel oops described in comment #3
is experienced as a result of enabling interrupts on the pv spinlock event
channel.

Fix: The following patch is taken from upstream and is included in 2.6.37.
It has been reported to successfully prevent the oops.

Testcase: Migration of a guest (using suspend)

Subject: [PATCH] xen: events: do not unmask event channels on resume

The IRQ core code will take care of disabling and reenabling
interrupts over suspend resume automatically, therefore we do not need
to do this in the Xen event channel code.

The only exception is those event channels marked IRQF_NO_SUSPEND
which the IRQ core ignores. We must unmask these ourselves, taking
care to obey the current IRQ_DISABLED status. Failure check for
IRQ_DISABLED leads to enabling polled only event channels, such as
that associated with the pv spinlocks, which must never be enabled:
