Given this bit of the spec...

... it isn't obvious to me why this cannot happen on an SiFive PLIC.

And it isn't only for threaded interrupts in oneshot mode. Any driver
can mask an interrupt from its handler after having set the
IRQ_DISABLE_UNLAZY flag, and the interrupt would need the exact same
treatment.
