While I agree that irq_active is confusing, I would tend to object to 
irq_queued for similar reasons. Edge interrupts get queued as well.

What this bit does is to allow or forbid resampling of a level 
interrupt.

How about irq_resample instead? That would mandate a small refactor of 
the code (a bit set to one would allow resampling, which is the opposite 
of the current logic), but would look better, I believe.

What do you think?
