That's a little surprising. The existing logic will mask out further interrupts
by writing a 0 into the relevant bit of 2140 (which is the INTR_EN register,
which controls which intr's get surfaced).

Your logic removes that, which means that you'll keep getting the unknown
intr's, and also you add a read from 258c. That's unlikely to matter though.

However now if we *do* ever get an interrupt for that bit in 2100 after
disabling the bit in 2140, then it'll be stuck forever. I suspect that the "&
mask" should be removed at the beginning of that function [and thus the read
from 2140].
