This really looks dodgy.

+#ifdef CONFIG_PARAVIRT
+
+/* Determine the maximal NR_IRQ which each pv instances require.
+ * i.e. NR_IRQS = max(IA64_NATIVE_NR_IRQS, XEN_NR_IRQS, ...)
+ */
+
+#define NR_IRQS 1
+
+#if IA64_NATIVE_NR_IRQS > NR_IRQS
+#undef NR_IRQS
+#define NR_IRQS IA64_NATIVE_NR_IRQS
+#endif
+
+#ifdef CONFIG_XEN
+#include <asm/xen/irq.h>
+#if XEN_NR_IRQS > NR_IRQS
+#undef NR_IRQS
+#define NR_IRQS XEN_NR_IRQS
+#endif
+#endif /* CONFIG_XEN */

I don't see why Xen needs special casing here, it really makes the
code gross. Please use one typedef for this, like PARAVIRT_NR_IRQS or
something like that, so we don't end up with a KVM special case, an
LGUEST special case and a Xen special case.

Cheers,
Jes
