Now, every call to ioapic_service() for an edge interrupt clears the IRR
bit immediately (assuming the mask is unset).

If the IRR bit is immediately zero on delivery, why won't this break the
edge detection logic on kvm_ioapic_set_irq()? Am I missing some
additional detail?

In other words, won't this cause spurious interrupts if
kvm_ioapic_set_irq(..., true) is called twice?
