Hi Juergen,

When creating a new event channel with 2-level events the affinity

from earlier usage of the event channel port.

The same applies to the affinity when onlining a vcpu: all old
affinity settings for this vcpu must be reset. As percpu events get
initialized before the percpu event channel hook is called,
resetting of the affinities happens after offlining a vcpu (this is
working, as initial percpu memory is zeroed out).

The bit corresponding to the event channel can only be set on a single CPU. Could we avoid the loop and instead clear the bit while closing the port?
