Even if the HVM handled the interrupt successfully, it doesn't mean that the 
pline will be deasserted (if another device assigned to another domain asserted 
it while the HVM processed the interrupt).You can't tell whether the HVM 
handled the interrupt successfully or not. How this method overcome this?

Btw, with the method we proposed you could add PV domains to the interdomain 
ISR chain, but it may not contain more than one HVM.

Thanks,
Guy.
