Xen 4.17 supports the creation of static evtchns. To allow user space
application to bind static evtchns introduce new ioctl
"IOCTL_EVTCHN_BIND_STATIC". Existing IOCTL doing more than binding
that’s why we need to introduce the new IOCTL to only bind the static
event channels.
Also, static evtchns to be available for use during the lifetime of the
guest. When the application exits, __unbind_from_irq() end up
being called from release() fop because of that static evtchns are
getting closed. To avoid closing the static event channel, add the new
bool variable "is_static" in "struct irq_info" to mark the event channel
static when creating the event channel to avoid closing the static
evtchn.

I think we should avoid u8/u16/u32 and instead use
uint8_t/uint16_t/uint32_t.
However in this case, you can use bool.
