On return to guest, if there are no free LRs and we still have more
interrupt to inject, set GICH_HCR_NPIE so that we are going to receive a
maintenance interrupt when no pending interrupts are present in the LR
registers.
The maintenance interrupt handler won't do anything anymore, but
receiving the interrupt is going to cause gic_inject to be called on
return to guest that is going to clear the old LRs and inject new
interrupts.

Any reason to not move this in the else?

BTW, I think we can safely avoid to reinject the IRQ for the event 
channels if there is pending events. It will also avoid spurious IRQ on 
some specific case :).

Yes: we need to be able to disable GICH_HCR_NPIE even if there are no
irqs to inject.

Currently we don't set GIC_IRQ_GUEST_PENDING for evtchn_irq if the irq
is already inflight. I'll see if I can come up with a patch to
streamline that behaviour.

In this case, can we simply enable/disable GICH_HCR_NPIE instead of
resetting the register every time? GICH_HCR contains other bits that
could be set in the future.
