If it helps you to understand the issue, I will do so later. But I *really* suggest to take this chance and develop in-kernel irqchip support that does not mess with halted, rather keeps it consistent (on register sync) and maybe adds exceptions from "if (!env->halted)" tests where required. IMHO, this is mandatory for an upstream merge!
