The algorithm used in baboon_irq() appears to be subject to a race

testing shows that the write to the flag register has no effect.
Rewrite this loop to remove the apparent race condition.
No-one seems to know how to clear Baboon IRQ flags, or whether
that's even possible, so add a comment about this.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
