+ * This interception occurs if:
+ * - the CPUSTAT_EXT_INT bit was already set when the external interrupt
+ * occurred. In this case, the interrupt needs to be injected manually to
+ * preserve interrupt priority.
+ * - the external new PSW has external interrupts enabled, which will cause an
+ * interruption loop. We drop to userspace in this case.
+ *
+ * The latter case can be detected by inspecting the external mask bit in the
+ * external new psw.
+ *
+ * Under PV, only the latter case can occur, since interrupt priorities are
+ * handled in the ultravisor.
