Better to use a local variable to assign IDU_M_xxx and then call idu_set_mode()
outside the if. I know the compiler would do that anyways, but that looks simpler
to read !

But on the other hand, adding all of this here - isn't there some sort of
duplication of code now between here and in the idu_irq_xlate() ?
Do we need the same stuff in 2 places ?
