That was introduced in 05eff845a28499762075d3a72e238a31f4d2407c to close
a race where the pipestat triggered an interrupt after we processed the
secondary registers and before reseting the primary.

But the basic premise that we should only enter the interrupt handler
with IIR!=0 holds (presuming non-shared interrupt lines such as MSI).
