In none of these cases the evtchn would be masked for sure, so I'll have
to test if the evtchn is masked and call move_masked_irq or
move_native_irq accordingly.  I preferred to test the evtchn_mask
directly as opposed to the irq flags because the test is easier to
understand (we could arrive in eoi_pirq from both handle_edge_irq or
handle_fasteoi_irq, the latter doesn't set IRQ_MASKED when masks
an irq).

xen: use do not clear and mask evtchns in __xen_evtchn_do_upcall

Switch virqs and pirqs that don't need EOI (in Xen acktype ==
ACKTYPE_NONE, that means the machine irq is actually edge)
to handle_edge_irq.

Use handle_fasteoi_irq for pirqs that need eoi (they generally
correspond to level triggered irqs), no risk in loosing interrupts
because we have to EOI the irq anyway.

This change has the following benefits:

- it uses the very same handlers that Linux would use on native for the
same irqs;

- it uses these handlers in the same way Linux would use them: it let
Linux mask\unmask and ack the irq when Linux want to mask\unmask and ack
the irq;

However it is obviously not easy to understand and it has to work around
the limitations of PHYSDEVOP_pirq_eoi_gmfn.
