Sure, but if it's only the re-init path you're concerned about, then I
don't think we have a problem for wired interrupts either. They're masked
at the GIC until we do request_irq, and our handler can tolerate a spurious
IRQ anyway.

I assumed the race you were trying to close was an IRQ firing after we've
disabled the device, but actually, I think the GIC is the right place to
handle that too because propagation delay can cause late IRQs anyway.

So unless there's a case I'm missing, let's not confuse the code by
disabling IRQs for the sake of it.
