FYI:

I've not seen a spurious interrupts notification on
arm64/aarch64.

I have seen such on cortex-a7 (the armv6/7 examples
that I have access to are this: so just armv7).


For cortex-a7 I build with the following local experiment
for information gathering:

It has never reported a non-1023 IRQ.

Quoting arm_gic_architecture_specification.pdf (various places about the 1023 
IRQ figure):

        • A processor reads the GICC_IAR and obtains the interrupt ID 1023, 
indicating a spurious interrupt. The processor can return from its interrupt 
service routine without writing to its GICC_EOIR.

The spurious interrupt ID indicates that the original interrupt is no longer 
pending, typically because another target processor is handling it.

and . . .

        • 1023  This value is returned to a processor, in response to an 
interrupt acknowledge, if there is no pending interrupt with sufficient 
priority for it to be signaled to the processor.

and . . .
