Hi Tony,
This patch is from Naoaki-san.
Mask IOSAPIC will make the following EOI write to IOSAPIC fail because
IOSAPIC will not be able to find RTE entry.
However move EOI write before IOSAPIC mask will leave a small
racy windows between them for interrupts. So mask IOSAPIC but leave the
vector field.
The patch is against your test tree.
