I don't see anything wrong with your code...  are you sure the minios is 
behaving itself and sending the events?  Have you tried putting printks in 
there to see if it's definitely successfully operating?

Are you sure the value of "port" you're binding in dom0 is correct?  If 
necessary, you could try adding tracing code to the Linux evtchn driver.

I can't quite see what's going wrong from the code you posted, sorry not to be 
more helpful.

Cheers,
Mark
