    That is a good fix for EHEA, but the threaded handling is still broken
    for anything else that is edge triggered isn't it?

    The result of the discussion about two years ago on this was that we
    needed a custom flow handler for XICS on RT.

    Apart from the issue of loosing interrupts there is also the fact that
    masking on the XICS requires an RTAS call which takes a global lock.

    cheers
