In vfio-speak, automasked means level and we're not magically changing
the IRQ from level to edge, we're simply able to handle level
differently based on a hardware optimization.  Should the user visible
flags therefore change based on this?  Aren't we really setting the
forwarded state rather than the automasked state?
