Using disable_irq_nosync() would be the same as using IRQF_ONESHOT which
is the preferred way.
Keith complained about this as slow and avoiding the read-back as
noticeable.

The generic way would be pci_msi_mask_irq() and the difference

|                 msix_mask_irq(desc, flag);
|                 readl(desc->mask_base);         /* Flush write to device */

would be that flush.

Sebastian
