threaded handlers. It's not easy to see from the diffs of this change exactly how it accomplishes the above. The arm_mask_irq() and arm_unmask_irq() functions are, respectively, the pre_thread and post_thread hooks. Not seen in these diffs, the arm_post_filter() routine also EOIs. The post_filter routine runs after filter handlers if there will be no threaded handlers, so it just EOIs. The pre_thread routine masks the interrupt (at the controller, not the source) and EOIs. So one way or another, the EOI happens at the point where filter handlers are done.
