The irq assertion equation in the CPLD is:
int_condition = inten & intmask & int_input_pin;
In theory, the ->startup() and ->shutdown() methods should fiddle with
the enable bits; the ->mask()/->unmask() methods should modfiy the mask
bits. In practice, at least on my DB1200, if not BOTH of the enable
and mask bits are cleared, the CPLD triggers tons of spurious
interrupts. I read through the verilog sources but could not find a
reason for this...

They _all_ behave level-triggered, even the ones that should be edge.
Again, looking at the verilog code, no edge detection or similar is
implemented; for instance the SD card insert/eject irqs should
be edge-triggered, but behave differently: the insert irq stays asserted
as long as a card is in the socket, the eject irq is asserted as long
as no card is present. The PCMCIA carrdetect irqs exhibit identical
behaviour.

It doesn't make a difference in practice, but I'll create a separate
->mask() method without the acking part of the supposedly-edge ints ;-)

See above.
