Wow, thats it?! this is good news, I'll have to verify it on my maple.
I think we can patch this better by copying:
  arch/powerpc/platforms/maple/setup.c maple_init_IRQ
into
  arch/powerpc/platforms/xen/evtchn.c

and simply drop:
  MPIC_WANTS_RESET
in the mpic_alloc() call.

and then have no changes in common code.

this make sense to you?
