Hello Julien,

There are no issue about processing IRQs before the syncs. It is the

So why do you need that?
From my understanding of gic-vgic code (old vgic), for the IRQs
targeting the `current` vcpu, it leads to a faster processing under
interrupts storm conditions. If it was all LRs set on previous switch to
a guest, a the IRQ will have a chance to go directly to LR instead of
setting on lr_pending queue. Also inflight_irqs queue have a chance to
be shorter to insert.
Moreover, maybe you can explain me, what's the point of interrupts
enabling before for `do_IRQ()` call? Those interrupts would be grabbed
and processed anyway, during run through the loop in `gic_interrupt()`.
So I see the only outcome of interrupts enabling - spending more time
for context switches.
