This is to better emulate IOAPIC version 0x1X hardware. Linux kernel
leveraged this "feature" to do explicit EOI since EOI register is still
not introduced at that time. This will also fix the issue that level
triggered interrupts failed to work when IR enabled (tested with Linux
kernel version 4.5).

+ * This is to satisfy the hack in Linux kernel. One hack of it is to
+ * simulate clearing the Remote IRR bit of IOAPIC entry using the
+ * following:
+ *
+ * "For IO-APIC's with EOI register, we use that to do an explicit EOI.
+ * Otherwise, we simulate the EOI message manually by changing the trigger
+ * mode to edge and then back to level, with RTE being masked during
+ * this."
+ *
+ * (See linux kernel __eoi_ioapic_pin() comment in commit c0205701)
+ *
+ * This is based on the assumption that, Remote IRR bit will be
+ * cleared by IOAPIC hardware when configured as edge-triggered
+ * interrupts.
+ *
+ * Without this, level-triggered interrupts in IR mode might fail to
+ * work correctly.
