That's not the issue, the issue is that if we get into the ISR we just
ack all the bits that are flagged by the hardware regardless of if we
actually handled them.  This won't work if there are ever systems that
share the interrupt and it works against safety/debugging features that
the interrupt has in case something goes wrong and we get spurious
interrupts.

If it does come up normally then a comment or something to explain why
this happens normally would probably be good.
