There's a comment below: it might be safe but
we do not bother: no easy way to know which interrupt
has higher priority.

In my testing more than one bit almost never happens in practice so not
worth optimizing for.

Never. The pv_eoi bit is cleared on each exit.
It will stay cleared unless we set it here.
I will add a comment.
