That's true for IPIC, but MPIC has the concept of EOI ack - "An
interrupt is considered in-service from the time its vector is read
(through an IACK cycle) until the end of interrupt (EOI) register is
written. generating what the PIC considers an EOI signal."

On MPC8568, QEIC is a interrupt source of MPIC, so it must send a EOI
signal after the interrupt is served. otherwise, the QEIC interrupt is
always in-service.
