Well, there's nothing that can't be fixed. The GIC doesn't have a
programmatic notion of what is high or low. It only knows about level
interrupts. But the HW only knows about level_high. Obviously, for
things to work, the integrator has to put an inverter on the line to
cope with level_low.

If the driver code insist on using level_low, we can address this
pretty easily, and just warn about the oddity:

Does this work for you?

Thanks,
