Actually, it very much can mean that. If the interrupt can possibly be
shared, there is a very real possibility of it fiding immediately.

Now, with MSI(-X) I guess that isn't a worry, so I suspect your patch
that handles just the legacy INTx case anyway is sufficient, but in
general I would like people to always act as if interrupts can happen
immediately after request_irq().

We have had *tons* of situations where the firmware left a device
active, for example. Or where some random interrupt controller ended
up having stale interrupts pending, even.

So in general, it's just good practice to say "spurious interrupts can
and do happen" - the shared irq case is the most obvious case, but
there have been other sources of unexpected spurious interrupts
firing.
