The interrupt is a Software Generated Interrupt one which uses SGI0 HW IRQ.

The interrupt pending bit for the vector is being cleared in
bsp_interrupt_dispatch() routine for the arm's based bsp's.

It should be enough to get this working, but it seems it is not. Something
that I have to keep in mind?
