Good point.

The code in Jon's patch was suggested by me. I check for wrapping by
comparing rptr with the rptr from the previous loop iteration. Comparing
rptr with wptr you can never be sure whether rptr has already passed
wptr, or whether rptr has to wrap first.

I could see a compromise where we sleep and wake up the waiting threads when

 1. the IH ring is empty
 2. the IH rptr wraps

That should be good enough to ensure a quick response in the common case
(no interrupt storm), and a reasonable response in the interrupt storm case.

But then it's still not clear what's the correct condition for checking
that the interrupts the caller cares about have been drained. Looking at
just rptr and wptr is always ambiguous. Maybe we could use timestamps of
the last processed interrupt? Those 48-bit time stamps wrap much less
frequently. The idea is this:

  * At the start get the timestamp of the last written IH ring entry
    (checkpoint)
  * Wait until the last_processed IH timestamp passes the checkpoint:
    sign_extend(last_processed - checkpoint) >= 0
