Furthermore,\ninterrupts are reenabled in the context of (B), and (C) fires with\nNMI priority. We end-up with a nested NMI situation, something\nwe definitely do not want to (and cannot) handle.\n\nThe bug here is that spurious interrupts should never result in any\nstate change, and we should just return to the interrupted context.\nMoving the handling of spurious interrupts as early as possible in\nthe GICv3 handler fixes this issue.\n\n[maz: rewrote commit message, corrected Fixes: tag]"
