It doesn't.

The interrupt is usually level triggered so it continues to create
interrupts until you silence it. The thresholds are about 10,000
interrupt events and on newer kernels we also reset the count if we don't
see any for a while. That works for most stuff except the thinkpad
bluetooth problem.
