What is the kernel and hypervisor in Dom0? And what is it in DomU?

Sure. An easier path might be to do 'xm debug-keys q' which should
trigger the debug irq handler. In DomU that should print out all of the
event channel bits which we can analyze that and see if the
proper bits are not set (and hence the IRQ handler isn't picking up
from the ring buffer).
