Conforming.  Here's the override entry from his ASL:

Type=INT Override
BUS=0
IRQ=9
INTR=20
Flags={Polarity=conforming, Trigger=level}

So since the bus type is always ISA, you should treat "conforming" as
active-hi for all override directives.  You should also explicitly check
the bus field for 0 (ISA) and if it's something different, ignore the
override since it is probably corrupt.
