We only say handled if the master IIR holds an interrupt, so not
entirely lost. At present, we say IRQ_NONE even though the master IIR
did raise the interrupt which seems wrong.

I think we're okay with just using the master IIR for IRQ_NONE /
IRQ_HANDLED as that is the interrupt generator aiui. If the child
sources disagree that's another issue, but as far as the kernel is
concerned i915 did generate and handle an interrupt.
