That would be a spurious interrupt indeed, but I'm not sure that's
something the line level sampling you suggest would avoid either. There
is a fundamental disconnect between the injection and the physical line,
and it can only be modelled to some level of accuracy (/me curse the
architecture again).

There is definitely room for experiment, but I feel Eric should focus on
one of them (whichever it is). Happy to help prototyping the other one
though.
Thanks,
