How can it make *sure* ? And what makes the wrapper latch MSI IRQs
again ?

I am sorry but I do not understand how this works - what is the
condition that makes wrapper latch IRQs again ? This is at least
racy, if not outright broken.
That count == 1000 is a symptom there is something broken on how this
driver handles IRQs and I have the impression that we are applying
plasters on top of plasters to make it less broken than it actually is.

How does HW work :) ? Please explain in detail how this works in HW
then we will get to the code.
