Hello.

on PPC64, 'get the vector' initiates an ACK as well - is that done before handle_irq() is done?

  Exactly. How else do_IRQ() would know the vector?

the reason i'm asking is that in this case masking is a bit late at this point and there's a chance for a repeat interrupt.

   How's that? Acknowledge != EOI on OpenPIC (as well as 8259).

Acknoledging sets the bit in the in-service register preventing all the interrupts with same or lower prioriry from being accepted.
