Maybe below patch will reduce some overhead, because currently it will exit to
main loop to handle interrupt but if with (env->regs[CR_STATUS] &
CR_STATUS_PIE) = False, it does nothing except set env->irq_pending again.

This isn't right. Not so much the gen_io_start portion, but the entire
existence of helper_check_interrupt.
The correct way to acknowledge interrupts after changing an interrupt mask bit
is to exit the TB back to the cpu main loop.
Which you are doing here with DISAS_UPDATE, so that part is fine. (Although
you could merge that into the switch statement above.)
Looking at nios_pic_cpu_handler, there are two other bugs:
1) Get rid of env->irq_pending and use cpu_interrupt/cpu_reset_interrupt
instead.
2) Do not check env->regs[CR_STATUS] & CR_STATUS_PIE. That variable does not
belong to the pic and should not be checked there. The check belongs in
nios2_cpu_exec_interrupt, and is in fact already there.
