As I commented, the other solution is to properly ack it. I'm not convinced about
the RBU interrupt's usefulness TBH, even when ack'd it makes a bad situation even
worse, but it does have the nice effect of making this visible by incrementing the
associated counter.

Anyway, this issue should be covered by this :
