Now the question here is whether it copies the mask because it
modified the mask in some way and want to reflect the change back.

If it just copies the unmodified mask, then this patch is wrong. It
should remove the copy from the arch code and return IRQ_SET_MASK_OK
so the core code can take care of the copying.

Ditto for the ia64 one.
