I see what you mean.  Perhaps.  So that would mean that we move
line_level() to the physical distributor for forwarded interrupts, but
the active state is managed virtually in the GIC?

That contradicts my argument on the other mail, but if it's a more
accurate emulation, then that's definitely worth considering.
