When sonic_interrupt() executes, the IPL is 2 or 3 (since either IRQ may
be involved). That is, SR & 0x700 is 0x200 or 0x300. The level 3 interrupt
may interrupt execution of the level 2 handler so an irq lock is used to
avoid re-entrance.

produces this output,

I ran that code in QEMU, but experience shows that Apple hardware works
exactly the same. Please do confirm this for yourself, if you still think
the code and comments in sonic_interrupt are wrong.
