Yeah, we generally model things as active-high even if the
hardware really treats the signal as active-low. (Among other
things there are some issues around how exactly device reset
should interact with a signal that is supposed to be high coming
out of reset, given you don't know whether the device at the
other end of the line has reset yet or not.)
This is great up until the point where you have a generic
GPIO device one of whose GPIO output lines happens to
be wired to an interrupt controller, of course.
