we can, it's just a bit more complex. If a user request both LOW and
HIGH, then you start with HIGH, once it triggers, before calling the
nested IRQ handler, you need to change it LOW. When low triggers, before
calling the nested IRQ handler, you need to change it to HIGH again. And
so on. I'm just not sure if that's valid on linux IRQ subsystem.

Anyone ?
