How did you find that SPIs should be configured edge-rising?
Before route_irq_to_guest, the SPI must be configured. I found Linux
v2m driver set
the SPI type to edge-rising, so I set edge-rising as v2m SPI default
type here too.

Well, Linux did it for a good reason (i.e based on a spec). We are trying in Xen to document piece of code which may not be straight-forward to deduce.

In this case, the IRQ is configured edge-rising because this is the only edge type supported by SPIs. I would expand the second sentence of the comment to explain that.
