Actually, the registers for controlling interrupts aren't visible to
userspace with ARMv7. On ARMv6, this is a different story, which is why I
didn't mention doing this for older platforms earlier :)

Anyway, this thread has digressed now so you can always jump onto the ARM
list (linux-arm-kernel) if you want to discuss this more.

Cheers,
