Exactly. My question was rather - like the subject says ;) - if there is
a way to emulate level IRQs on controllers that can't do that natively.

But ok, I followed Eric's suggestion now and implemented it that way.
This also works fine for me.

Dmitry, are you fine with that patch?


Many thanks for the input, everyone!
