Level interrupts should be taken care of without doing anything, by the
very nature of being a level signal.

Edge interrupts should be replayed using check_irq_resend() after
taking the right locks and making the interrupt pending. Or, if there
is a way for SW to make the interrupt pending at the TLMM level, to use
that as a way to reinject the interrupt (which would be the preferred
way, as it avoids all kind of ugly locking considerations).
