Well, I don't know if we want to read PBA from device directly. To me it's not a
good idea because the real device has nothing to do with the one we show to the
guest.

Right. vPBA.bit = pPBA.bit | recorded_pending_bit_from_lazy_masked_interrupt.

  At least direct accessing the mask bits of real device would be very
dangerous. Avi?

Agree.
