I'm uncomfortable with pushing Davide's patch into stable and possibly

Well guests mask/unmask vector on each interrupt, so this will trigger
an irq storm I think.

It's not like they're unknown.
Depends on the device really.
In theory, if they trigger at an unfortunate time this could cause
crashes.


I'd like confirmation on both of these before I push things to stable.
