Right, though I may resend the patches properly first to make it less
confusing.

I did have a look at the irq-core, but didn't go in real depth. I
rather saw how stuff happens at the driver's end.

- On setup-irq, the core only calls enable() and not unmask().
- On interrupt, the core calls mask(), followed by unmask() (which can
  be delayed for threaded irqs).
- On disable_irq(), the core only calls disable().
- On enable_irq(), the core only calls enable().

And so I ended up at this version :)
