No worries. I've pestered against this verbiage multiple times because
it is incredibly misleading for non native speakers (I misinterpreted
this "pending and active state" a couple of times myself). This is why I
wrote Active+Pending above, because it is less ambiguous.

The GICv3 spec contains the same subtlety in multiple places. Man, how I
hate this thing, it is unbelievable.
