I agree. But that's following ARM's tradition of making PPIs
non-configurable. I seem to remember that there is at least one
occurrence of a GIC with configurable PPIs (Qualcomm, IIRC).

With this use case in mind, Liviu's patch allows an active-low interrupt
to be correctly configured as level, for example.
