  Log:
  Fix a long-standing bug in the livelock code.  An interrupt thread normally
  unmasks the hardware interrupt source when it is through.  However, if a
  livelock occurs the interrupt thread may be polled long after a device has
  terminated operations and torn down its interrupt.  To solve this problem,
  only unmask the hardware interrupt if the IRQ still has device handlers
  installed.  This fixes a weird problem with the parallel port driver
  (which installs and tears-down IRQ 7 on each write() for some unfathomable
  reason).
