I don't think it's necessary to EOI the spurious interrupts, since EOIing
a spurious interrupt won't cause any effect.
As for the interrupts here, the ones entered into this 'if' clause, I think
they are expected already been mapped into this irq_domain.

The spec also says that software must ensure the interrupt is disabled before
changing its routing/priority/group information, see chapter 4.5.5 in v18.

OK, it makes sense.
