Thanks.
That is the essence of what I am doing with level triggered interrupts.
- Mask
- ACK
- Reprogram
- Unmask.
Which essentially comes from the definition of how level triggered
interrupts operate in the ioapics.
Having to run the EOI before the ISR routine runs or having to keep
the ISR masked while the ISR runs isn't something that I have encountered.
And if it was a problem there is enough volume I expect someone would have gotten
a bug report about it by now.
