I thought the dumb word was denoting the simplicity (stupidity ?) of
the irq demultiplexer, but indeed, I don't see how a virtual irq demuxer
could have enough information to do a better job (if there's an
interrupt cause register, then it's not a virtual/software demuxer
anymore).
So replacing dumb by virt or virtual makes sense here.


Best Regards,

Boris
