[PATCH] genirq: do not mask interrupts by default
Never mask interrupts immediately upon request. Disabling interrupts in
high-performance codepaths is rare, and on the other hand this change could
recover lost edges (or even other types of lost interrupts) by conservatively
only masking interrupts after they happen. (NOTE: with this change the
highlevel irq-disable code still soft-disables this IRQ line - and if such an
interrupt happens then the IRQ flow handler keeps the IRQ masked.)
Mark i8529A controllers as 'never loses an edge'.
