I am not sure if the above is correct. The spec doesn't specify that the
set_mask can be used to detect if the interrupt belongs to this channel.
We need clarification to use those bits.

This triggered be that I have a patch to address this. I will try to search
and share, but IIRC I had a flag set when the doorbell was rung to track
which channel or when to expect the irq. I will dig that up.

We can hide all the details in a macro or oneline function that returns if
the interrupt can be shared. Also since this is threaded interrupt, you may
need to keep it disabled until the thread handler is run.
