Hi
I finally had some time to look at this again.

Unless south interrupts are disabled by SDEIER, which is what my patch does.

Yes and it doesn't work. I just re-re-tested it today to be sure.

They won't be lost since I don't mask the interrupts (IMR), I just
disable them (IER), so they are still listed in the SDEIIR register.
What happens is that in the patch I sent, we'll just re-enable the
south interrupts after we re-enable the north interrupts (DEIER it
31), so exactly after this, if we have pending interrupts stored,
we'll just get another interrupt, then our interrupt handler will run
and process the "missed" interrupt (IIR can queue up to two interrupt
events; when the IIR is cleared, it will set itself again after one
clock if a second event was stored).
This can be easily verified with the following:
- Apply patch 6 ("drm/915: print PCH poison interrupts") without this
one (it enables SERR_INT, which will trigger the bug)
- Boot SVB with LVDS only
- While booting, the mode sets will trigger a lot of interrupts, which
will trigger the bug solved by this patch
- Plug a new monitor
- Run xrandr, notice the monitor will be listed as "disconnected"
- Dump the interrupt registers, notice that SDEIIR has some bits set
but DEIIR is 0x0
- Disable south interrupts by writing 0 SDEIER (use intel_reg_write)
- Read SDEIIR and write the same value back (notice it won't become 0
due to the stored interrupt events)
- Re-enable SDEIER by writing the old value back to it
- Since SDEIIR is not 0 (due to second interrupts stored), this will
generate an interrupt, which will be processed by the Kernel and call
our irq handler (you could put some print messages on the interrupt
handler just to check if you want)
- Check all the interrupt registers, notice everything is fine (SDEIIR
is 0 and DEIIR is 0)
- Run xrandr and the plugged monitor will finally be detected (i.e.,
south interrupts are working again)

And before all the things you've mentioned, we need this patch to
properly clear the interrupt registers so we can deal with them even
if they come too fast.
I plan to resend a new interrupt series maybe in the next days.
Thanks for the review,
