and it being able to 'mask' an vector until it exits or such? If so
you should document that.

I'm not sure to understand what you are asking.

Xen takes advantage of the virtual interrupt controller to notify the guest of new pending event channels.

The life cycle (mask/eoi) of the interrupt associated to the notification is handled by the interrupt controller. The interrupt can't be re-entrant but we may receive spurious notification.

AFAIK, there is no specific semantics. Stefano, can you confirm it?

Regards,
