Don't include noise like this in upstream submissions.

No, this isn't good - it'll read the hardware interrupt status again.
This will break any devices that are clear on read since enabled
interrupts will also be read.  I'd suggest unconditionally acknowledging
all masked interrupts as the simplest approach, obviously it'd be better
to only acknowledge newly masked interrupts but that is more complex to
implement.
