Its's one of the interrupt handlers in the
ci->ci_isources[i]->ipl_handlers list.

It looks to me that the splx C implementation in evtchn_do_event()
does not correctly handle the case where more than one handlers
are in the list.

To reproduce this put a multi serial port pci card into your
machine and use it as a Xen serial console.
(pass com1=<speed>,8n1,<mmio base> console=com1 sync_console
to the xen kernel command line)
