It makes enormous sense to run with the ability to mask *just* the IRQ
that occurred and not others so that long lasting interrupts.
There is another reason not to do this of course - the real time work
makes it essentially irrelevant by doing the job right and reducing the
entire problem space to software priority management.

Only if you support reliable masking of a single IRQ *after* the IRQ
handler returns. The real time patches can do that for some chipsets but
on the PC at least you are into the realms of deepest darkest APIC
weirdness and that requires Ingo's pointy hat and wand..
