Hi, Alex,
        Could you try attached patch to see whether progressing a step 
for you? It's made on top of last patch, to address a bug that 
VEC_XEN_ALIAS is only meaningful when enable bit is on. This bug 
may result guest to think shared irq line edge-triggered and thus no 
EOI request is issued which may stuck the subsequent instances. :-)

Thanks,
Kevin
