    This doesn't work even for some non shared interrupts.

    If I take a level triggered interrupt then the IRQ handler code must
    clear the IRQ before the line can be unmasked.

    It might work for edge triggered providing you don't get too many edges
    before you respond (in which case we will decide its a stuck IRQ and turn
    it off for good).
