The problem with clearing adapter interrupts is that is actually a summary
interrupt for every potential device. So I somewhat consider an adapter interrupt
pending when the summary indicator went from 0 to 1. So I dont think clearing
a single one makes not much sense. (And this interface would be wrong for
that I think)
The only use cases I can imagine for clearing adapter interrupts (e.g. reset)
is already covered by KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IRQS
