How are things working now, if that is the case?

Specifically in the ldc_bind() case, we're passing iRQF_DISABLED here
so that the IRQ is not turned on when we request the IRQ, we later do
enable_irq() on these after we've take the spinlock in this function.

The IRQ cannot be allowed to be delivered between the request_irq()
call and the enable_irq() calls.

This sequence is necessary to deal with some lock ordering issues.
