Nope, we cannot look at the function control, as csch clears any set
start function bit :( (see "Function Control", pg 16-13)

I think this problem mostly boils down to "csch clears pending status;
therefore, we may only get one interrupt, even though there had been a
start function going on". If we only go with what the hardware gives
us, I don't see a way to distinguish "clear with a prior start" from
"clear only". Maybe we want to track an "issued" status in the cp?
