Err ?

IRQ happens

IRQ is disabled by the generic handling code

Handler is invoked and checks, whether the irq is from the device or
not.
- If not, it returns IRQ_NONE, so the next driver (e.g. disk) is
invoked.
- If yes, it masks the chip on the device, which disables the chip
interrupt line and returns IRQ_HANDLED.

In both cases the IRQ gets reenabled from the generic irq handling code
on return, so why is the box dead ?
