It should never have an impact, but I'm worried that this could be a HW
bug where the physical side of the ITS leaks into the virtual one. You
have a GICv4, right?

It'd be interesting to find out what happens if you leave this interrupt
disabled (don't enable eth2) and see if that interrupt magically appears
or not.

Thanks,
