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() ends up being
called from release() file operations 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 now "struct evtchn_close close;" can be placed here as it is not
used outside of this block.
Also this block looks like an open-coded version of xen_evtchn_close()
defined at events_base.c, so maybe it is worth making xen_evtchn_close()
static inline and placing it into events.h, then calling helper here?
Please note, I will be ok either way.

Make sense. I will modify the patch as per your request in the next version.
I will wait for other maintainers to review the patch before sending the
next version.
