[Impact}

Marek Marczykowski-Górecki discovered that the Xen event channel infrastructure implementation 
in the Linux kernel contained a race condition. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use 
this to cause a denial of service (paravirtualized device unavailability).

[Fix]

Clean cherry-pick.

[Test Case]

Compile and boot test.

[Where problems could occur]

Issues could occur when events happen.
