Same for me. This little patchlet really doesn't cover the EB164 PC164
variants, but is mostly for me to see whether it *breaks* other folks.

Formally speaking, if I can be so bold to say as much about code I didn't
design and probably don't understand, as each interrupt comes in and a thread
is scheduled to run but isn't running, there is an attempt to disable the
interrupt source in h/w (not at the device but at h/w in the system that
allows the transmission of interrupts). PCI interrupts were/are being handled
by each alpha's platform PCI code.

The isa code wasn't setting up enable/disable vectors. I want to add them and
see if breaks people. The semantics should be the same as the PCI stuff- and,
haha, even close the x86 code that this design seems to come from.
