Modelled on the H_EOI PAPR call.
+This can return a positive value, which means more interrupts
+are queued for that CPU/priority and must be fetched as the XIVE is not
+guaranteed to assert the CPU external interrupt line again until the
+pending queue for the current priority has been emptied.

For P9 and above systems where host doesn't know about interrupt controller.
