Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] fix event channel notification loss on IA64

However xchg of IA64 has acquire semantics so that event
channel notification is lost sometimes. This patch fixes it.
clear_bit() isn't a barrier either (at least according to Linux bitop
semantics). You want 'rmb();'. I suggest just putting it inside ifndef
CONFIG_X86, with the comment about XCHG being a barrier on x86 placed
just before the ifndef. Leave the zap of pending flag as a plain write.
