This doesn't work even for some non shared interrupts.

If I take a level triggered interrupt then the IRQ handler code must
clear the IRQ before the line can be unmasked.

It might work for edge triggered providing you don't get too many edges
before you respond (in which case we will decide its a stuck IRQ and turn
it off for good).
