Yep, I have assertions all around such places :-) (it's a non-production
code yet so I can do that)

Uh. I simply forgot about it - my Host block device doesn't do that, so
I ignored that feature initially and then it slipped through cracks. And
till now I didn't realize that most of the drivers actually use this :-O
My fault.

Simple to fix anyway - I'll just add InterruptStatus register and use
second bit (same with InterruptACK) to get this through. Will be done on
Monday.

Any other final complaints regarding the interface while I'm on it? ;-)

Cheers!
