Here we (finally) go:

This fixes
- one instance of using XEN_BLOCK_EVENTS where XEN_UNBLOCK_EVENTS was
  meant
- four instances of left-over cli-s that should have been replaced
with
  XEN_BLOCK_EVENTS
- one instance of slightly wrong placement (without resulting in ill
behavior, but
  needlessly making the diff to native more complex)
