I'm not saying to remove support for such stuff, as long as we clearly
annotate that its due to broken ass hardware we can leave a IRQF_ENABLED
thingy in there.

Preferably such drivers would be converted to threaded interrupts, but I
thought Alan mentioned an IDE chipset that was so broken even that would
be impossible (could not mask the IRQ for it would corrupt stuff).

The thing I am strongly opposing though, is keeping interrupts enabled
for regular drivers on sane hardware.
