xen_evtchn_do_upcall is used for the callback vector interrupt injection
(and regular PV obviously).

xen_hvm_evtchn_do_upcall is used by the old-style PCI IRQ injection
route in platform-pci.c if the callback vector is not available.

So entry_64.S should be using xen_evtchn_do_upcall.

Also, I think smp_xen_hvm_callback_vector is simply a redundant
duplicate of xen_evtchn_do_upcall which could be removed.
