Experimental hack to avoid unhandled interrupt timer to fire
on EtherNEC/NetUSBee cards that have no hardware interrupt
and need to be polled from a timer interrupt.
This patch adds a special 'polled interrupt' handler for timer based
software interrupts.
handle_simple_irq() will respond to excessive unhandled interrupts
(as are expected for a polling timer interrupt) by disabling the
apparently unhandled interrupt source.
handle_polled_irq() prevents this by setting the IRQS_POLL_INPROGRESS
flag which will cause the unhandled interrupt events to be ignored.
This is a temporary hack to allow timer based polling of the Atari ROM
port network and USB cards only. Suggestions on how to properly handle
this in the normal interrupt framework are most welcome.
