Reset the IRQ_NOAUTOEN and IRQ_NOREQUEST flags that are enabled by
default on ARM. If IRQ_NOAUTOEN is set, __setup_irq doesn't call
irq_startup, that is responsible for calling irq_unmask at startup time.
As a result event channels remain masked.

This one just sent a shiver down my spine. Are you doing this for a PPI?

Not really: even though there is just one source of event notifications
(that is a PPI), we have many event channels. When a domain receives a
notification (via the PPI), it checks on a bitmask to which event channel
it corresponds. From the Linux point of view every event channel is a
Linux irq belonging to the xen_dynamic_chip (see
drivers/xen/events.c:xen_dynamic_chip).

So here I am not doing this for the one PPI, but I am doing this for
every Linux irq (of chip xen_dynamic_chip) that represents an event
channel.

So this is some sort of secondary interrupt controller, cascaded into
your GIC emulation, and this patch only affects the xen_dynamic_chip?

I guess it could be seen as a secondary interrupt controller

Yep
