When an interrupt occurs __gic_irq_dispatch() continuously reads local and 
shared pending registers
until all is serviced before returning. The problem with that is that it could 
introduce
a long delay before returning if a piece of hardware keeps triggering while in 
one of these loops.

To ensure fairness and priority doesn't get skewed a lot, read local and shared 
pending registers once
to service each pending IRQ once.
If another interupt triggers while servicing the current ones, then we shall 
re-enter the handler after
we return.
