This is not elegant. core intc needs to do same thing to all interrupts coming in
- irrespective of whether they are funneled via IDU or not.

So you seem to assume that anything > FIRST_EXT_IRQ is coming in via IDU which may
not be case.
external Interrupts can be wired to core directly - not via IDU
- 16 .. 23 are cpu private reserved irq
- 24 .. C are common irqs (via IDU)
- C + 1 .. N are cpu private external irqs

so better to disable all irq_bcr.irqs independent of how they are hooked up !
