Ping?

The event channel in question was the first to need a new entry in event_array[] in events_fifo.c. Unfortunately xen_irq_info_pirq_setup() is called with evtchn being 0 for a new pirq and the real event channel number is assigned to the pirq only during __startup_pirq(). It is mandatory to call xen_evtchn_port_setup() after assigning the event channel number to the pirq to make sure all memory needed for the event channel is allocated.
