Hello Steven,

> unmasking was questioned by Russell King about masking simple irqs
> to begin with. Looking further, it was discovered that the problems
> Remy was seeing was due to improper use of the simple handler by
> devices, and he later submitted patches to fix those. But the issue
> that was uncovered was that the simple handler should never mask.
>
> This patch reverts the masking in the simple handler.
