As pointed out by Christoffer in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/6/8/322,
isn't it a bit risky in general to poke the physical state instead of
the virtual state. For level sensitive, to me we don't really have many
other alternatives. For edge, we are not obliged to.

Don't we have situations, due to the lazy disable approach, where the
physical IRQ hits, enters the genirq handler and the actual handler is
not called, ie. the virtual IRQ is not injected?
