When unmask_evtchn is called, if we already have an event pending, we
just set evtchn_pending_sel waiting for local_irq_enable to be called.
That is because PV guests set the irq_enable pvops to
xen_irq_enable_direct in xen_setup_vcpu_info_placement:
xen_irq_enable_direct is implemented in assembly in
arch/x86/xen/xen-asm.S and call xen_force_evtchn_callback if
XEN_vcpu_info_pending is set.
However HVM guests (and ARM guests) do not change or do not have the
irq_enable pvop, so evtchn_unmask cannot work properly for them.
Considering that having the pending_irq bit set when unmask_evtchn is
called is not very common, and it is simpler to keep the
native_irq_enable implementation for HVM guests (and ARM guests), the
best thing to do is just use the EVTCHNOP_unmask hypercall (Xen
re-injects pending events in response).
