Think about this case, if someone tries to dump "AAA" module's register.
It would keep read reg base, base+0x4, base+0x8, ...
All these registers are in the same slave, which would be same vio_idx.
(Take vio_idx 5 as example)
In this case, vio_idx 5 will keep triggering interrupt. If you did not
do "dump violation info" between mask & unmask, you cannot get any
violation info until the last interrupt being handled.
Normally, system will crash before last interrupt coming.

"handled" means clear status and dump violation info.
