before reset() is invoked. That's a question of general robustness and

We can do this for some MSIX interrupts, sure. Not for shared interrupts though.

But you have to make sure that the handler does not run before and after
the defined points. And that's even more important for shared because
with shared interrupts the interrupt can be raised at any point in time
via the other devices which share the line.
