I commented a bit more below, but this patch is pretty unpleasant. It
certainly can't be used in this form.

These changes will never fly. I'm aggressively moving away from making
any Xen-specific changes in core files for dom0; I don't want to add any
more for a hybrid mode. (I'd really prefer not to have a hybrid mode at
all.)

!!! We have pvops for a reason. If you want to override irq_disable,
define a new pvop function.
