The SMB_LB_INT_CTRL_REG register control the validity of both real-time
events and interrupts. When logical buffer status changes causes to issue an
interrupt at the same time as it issues a real-time event.
Real-time events are used in SMB driver, which needs to get the buffer 
status.
Interrupts are used in debugger mode and cannot be registered in kernel.
  ..._BUF_NOTE_MASK control which events flags or interrupts are valid.

Thanks.
