The struct kvmppc_xive_irq_state reflects the state of the EAS
configuration and not the state of the source. The source is masked
setting the PQ bits to '-Q', which is what is being done before calling
the KVM_DEV_XIVE_EQ_SYNC control.
If a source EAS is configured, OPAL syncs the XIVE IC of the source and
the XIVE IC of the previous target if any.
So I think we are fine.
