There is no way I will put ITS-specific hacks in the core, and I
really don't think this is the correct way to address this. Also, why
track this sort of thing on a per-interrupt basis, while this is
obviously a device-level allocation?
The real issue is that there is currently no way for the ITS code to
know when we're done with *all* the interrupts of a device. This is
what needs fixing.
