I would like TI or ARM to confirm if my assumption is correct that the IRQ
will be re-raised if it gets corrupted in this way (resulting in a spurious
irq -33, which seems to be the most common one ;). If not, then this patch
will cause us to drop interrupts which is not good. Of course it is still
better than ending in a permanent loop, but only marginally.

I also tried the SO patch, result wasn't able to boot up at all (sorry, don't
have the log to show where it died).
