The magic comes from the original Corellium driver. It first masks everything

other interrupts which seem to indicate various error conditions) to fire but
instead polls for PORT_LINKSTS_UP.

Let's not take any magic numbers from their drivers (or what macOS does, for that matter) without making an attempt to understand what they do, unless it becomes clear it's incomprehensible. This has already bit us in the past (the SError disable thing).
