[PATCH -rt] yet another irq storm

Must be global warming, I'm getting a lot more irq storms than usual.

Now that I switched over to x86_64, I booted up and got another irq
storm. So I added my previous patch and it didn't fix it. Looking
further, I found that the mask and unmask is done directly in the
x86_64/io_apic.c file.

This patch does basically the same thing as my previous patch, but to
the x86_64/io_apic.c file.
