Touching the intr_mode_init causes unexpected results on the system.

Bypass it in enlighten_pv system.

So that's the wrong patch order then. You broke XEN at some point with your
changes. You need to prevent that breakage upfront not after the fact.

Yes, I have considered to prevent that breakage in the patchset.

Actually, Until the 11th patch, we put the intr_mode_init ahead of
time, which will break XEN.

Before the 11th patch, we just unify the code and do the preparation,
Kernel will do the intr_mode_init like before, which will have no
influence on XEN.

So we put the patch here before 11th patch.

Thanks,

Thanks,
