I see, the interrupt is still sent to the processor; but IRR reflects
that status of the input line, not a "pending interrupt" status.
Will this survive live migration? If we clear IRR, then we must rely on
the other end to remember the IRQ, but if processor interrupts are
disabled there won't be an INTACK and the signal is lost.
