Unlike the prior handler the two new ones don't call ack_dynirq()
anymore, and the description doesn't give a hint towards this
difference. As a consequence, clear_evtchn() also doesn't get
called anymore - patch 3 adds the calls, but claims an older
commit to have been at fault. _If_ ack_dynirq() indeed isn't to
be called here, shouldn't the clear_evtchn() calls get added
right here?
