Ah that's a good point, we might have attentions (and OCC resets) coming
simultaneously on multiple chips since the plan was to only mask the IPOLL
mask locally...

Jeremy, that changes things a bit for us... We can keep the code simpler
still I think, but we probably do need some kind of queue. The code is
simpler because userspace will only process one at a time and we
can bake that in the design on our side.

Unless we want to plan for a hypothetical day where HBRTD can process
multiple at a time...

Cheers,
Ben.
