The GIC logic to prioritize interrupts is independent of the logic to 
route interrupt sources to IRQ or FIQ. Thus if this code acknowledges an 
unexpected interrupt source then we really don't know whether it is an 
IRQ or a FIQ so we cannot accurately describe this is an unexpected FIQ.

If there is bad prioritization then we cannot predict what type of 
interrupt INTACK will give use.
