I actually turn off the evtchn callback IRQ by setting it to 0. Even
when I don't do this though the problem still occurs.

When I analyse the IRR in windows, before enabling interrupts again, I
can definitely see that the bit for vector 0x93 is set.

Time to go digging... any suggestions for places to look?
