I don't remember having seen this... Does this happen with the mainline
QEMU, which doesn't set the SintPollingModeAvailable (17) bit in cpuid
0x40000003:edx?

I wonder if that cpuid setting affects this behavior? Also curious what
exactly the guest is trying to achieve writing this bogus value?

I'm not sure this is enough to implement the polling mode: per spec,

However, if the guest sets a valid vector and the masked bit cleared,
we'll consider it a usual SINT and add to masks and inject interrupts,
etc, regardless of the polling bit.

I must admit I'm confused by the above quote from the spec: is the
polling bit supposed to come together with the masked bit? If so, then
we probably should validate it here (but your logs indicate otherwise).
In general I'm missing the utility of this mode: why should an interrupt
controller be involved in polling at all?

Roman.
