+ *
+ * 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

+ * Which is kind of icky, but less so than the VFIO one. I may fix them
