I did see that in setup.c, there that hypercall to setup callbacks like
hypervisor_callback, but when xen will issue the callback?  Everytime a
domain issues a hypervisor call, xen will issue the callback function?

Also, I noticed that hypervisor_callback() will in turn call
evtchn_do_upcall, which seems to convert the pending flags to the
correspond virq and does doIRQ() to emulating irq injection. Is that
right?

Thanks for your help.

Xin
