They simulate the EOI message manually by changing the trigger mode to edge and then back to level, with the entry being masked during this. QEMU implements this feature in commit ed1263c363c9 ("ioapic: clear remote irr bit for edge-triggered interrupts") As a side effect, this commit removes an incorrect behavior where Remote IRR was cleared when the redirection table entry was rewritten. This is not consistent with the manual and also opens an opportunity for a strange behavior when a redirection table entry is modified from an interrupt handler that handles the same entry: The modification will clear the Remote IRR bit even though the interrupt handler is still running.
