Now you got me confused. The comment talks about the active bit, but 
you're actually clearing the pending bit. Surely that deserves a better 
explanation.

Why not directly testing the active bit? It'd be more consistent with 
the above if you used a similar method.

Fast, cheap, reliable. Pick two.
