My initial assumption with ack_invert would be that any bits we're not
acking are inverted as well - if we just write 0 to those bits then we
might be spuriously acking them.  I'm not sure if there's something that
is being missed with how this hardware is modelled or if it's just a not
entirely thought through hardware design, if I'm understanding it
correctly I can't see anything that can safely be written to the bits we
don't want to ack.  Either we cause them to be asserted or we might
clear them incorrectly if we race with that interrupt asserting.
