But even if you only handle the interrupt once, it is still asserted,
right? You exit the low-level exception handler, only to take the
interrupt immediately again. So what is the gain here?

As an aside, please add a cover letter to your patch series. It is
immensely useful as a summary of what is being done, as well as an
anchor for the patches themselves.

Thanks,
