With kernel 6.12 (Debian stable) we see a continuously increasing spurious interrupt count inside a pSeries guest running on a PowerNV host:

cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0
 16:          0  XIVE-IPI   0 Edge      IPI-0
 17:          0  XIVE-IRQ 4096 Edge      RAS_EPOW
 21:          2  XIVE-IRQ 4353 Edge      hvc_console
 23:          0  XIVE-IRQ 4097 Edge      RAS_HOTPLUG
 24:          0  pSeries-PCI-MSI   0 Edge      virtio0-config
 25:      50995  pSeries-PCI-MSI   1 Edge      virtio0-input.0
 26:      45569  pSeries-PCI-MSI   2 Edge      virtio0-output.0
 27:          0  pSeries-PCI-MSI 16384 Edge      virtio1-config
 28:          6  pSeries-PCI-MSI 16385 Edge      virtio1-input
LOC:       5781   Local timer interrupts for timer event device
BCT:          0   Broadcast timer interrupts for timer event device
LOC:          2   Local timer interrupts for others
SPU:     449927   Spurious interrupts
PMI:          0   Performance monitoring interrupts
MCE:          0   Machine check exceptions
NMI:          0   System Reset interrupts
WDG:          0   Watchdog soft-NMI interrupts
DBL:          0   Doorbell interrupts

The spurious interrupts are apparently from the virtio0-[input|output] devices.
