Yes, there is an internal S/R latch.
 - For edge interrupts, the latch is set once for each pulse.
 - For level interrupts, it gets set continuously as long as the
   pin is high/low.
 - Writing a "1" to bit 0 of PENDING resets the latch.
 - The output of the latch goes to the GIC.

For level interrupts, I have to reset the latch (see above) after the source of
the interrupt is cleared.

That was the bug with v2: I set IRQ_EOI_THREADED so .irq_eoi would run after the
thread. But with GICv2 EOImode==0, that blocked other interrupts from being
received during the IRQ thread. Which is why I moved it to .irq_unmask and
removed the flag: so .irq_eoi runs at the end of the hardirq (unblocking further
interrupts at the GIC), and .irq_unmask resets the latch at the end of the thread.

With the flag removed, but still clearing the latch in .irq_eoi, every edge IRQ
was followed by a second, spurious IRQ after the thread finished.

Does that make sense?

Okay, I'll do that.
