+     * In the kernel, there's a notifier hook on the PIC/IOAPIC which allows
+     * such things to be polled at precisely the right time. We *could* do
+     * it nicely in the kernel: check vcpu_info[0]->evtchn_upcall_pending at
+     * the moment the IRQ is acked, and see if it should be reasserted.
+     *
+     * But the in-kernel irqchip is deprecated, so we're unlikely to add
+     * that support in the kernel. Insist on using the split irqchip mode
+     * instead.
+     *
+     * This leaves us polling for the level going low in QEMU, which lacks
+     * the appropriate hooks in its PIC/IOAPIC code. Even VFIO is sending a
+     * spurious 'ack' to an INTX IRQ every time there's any MMIO access to
+     * the device (for which it has to unmap the device and trap access, for
+     * some period after an IRQ!!). In the Xen case, we do it on exit from
+     * KVM_RUN, if the flag is set to say that the GSI is currently asserted.
+     * Which is kind of icky, but less so than the VFIO one. I may fix them
+     * both later...
