As in the original commit, you should point out that this change does
not have any effects on x86 (where IRQ_NOREQUEST and IRQ_NOAUTOEN are
cleared by default).

At this point we might as well do this consistently everywhere we
allocate a new evtchn irq, including pirqs and ipis, even though we don't
actually use them on ARM.

If the call to irq_clear_status_flags can be moved earlier, a good place
for it could be xen_irq_init.
