I like avoiding hvm_do_resume() on every vm entry, so I took that part of
the patch. The change to ioemu was odd -- there are other places that set
send_event to 1 (the code that adds IRQs to the PIC IRR). We know that code
is somewhat broken for SMP guests, but you *do* need to notify Xen when
interrupts happen, right?
