What about this in unreg_slave?

1. disable_irq()
	This includes synchronize_irq() and avoids the race. Because irq
	will be masked at interrupt controller level, interrupts coming
	in at the I2C IP core level should still be pending once we
	reenable the irq.

2. disable all slave interrupts

3. enable_irq()

4. clean up the rest (pointer, address)

Or am I overlooking something?
