Not really: even though there is just one source of event notifications
(that is a PPI), we have many event channels. When a domain receives a
notification (via the PPI), it checks on a bitmask to which event channel
it corresponds. From the Linux point of view every event channel is a
Linux irq belonging to the xen_dynamic_chip (see
drivers/xen/events.c:xen_dynamic_chip).

So here I am not doing this for the one PPI, but I am doing this for
every Linux irq (of chip xen_dynamic_chip) that represents an event
channel.
