Thanks for working out what's going on. A patch should be quite easy.

We could allow any vcpu to process any pending notifications. It would 
mean vcpus outside an irq's affinity set could end up processing an 
interrupt and I'm not sure if that's a good thing. It would actually 
slightly simplify evtchn.c though (no need to apply a per-cpu mask to 
the event-channel port array).
