I have a feeling this doesn't work with threaded interrupts.

If the interrupt handler runs in a thread context, the EOI will happen
almost right away (while the IRQ handler runs) and so will the code
handling the IRQ retriggering. But since the IRQ handler still runs and
didn't return yet, the retriggering doesn't cause the IRQ handler to be
called again once it finishes, even if the IRQ line is still asserted.
And that could result in some of the retriggers now happening I think.
Or am I doing something wrong ?
