Mark,

If for example status=0x01 the current code for ack_invert will write
a 0xfe to clear that bit which ends up setting all other interrupt
bits keeping the interrupt from ever being de-asserted. With the patch
applied a status=0x01 will result in a 0x00 written to clear that bit
and keep other's from being set.
