[ARM] Fix Neponset IRQ handling
While testing the genirq code on ARM, a condition was found whereby the Neponset IRQ handler was being re-entered, causing the system to deadlock. Under the ARM IRQ code, this would not have been a visible problem because the "simple" IRQ handling had no re-entrancy protection. Resolve this by acknowledging the parent interrupt after we mask it when we are going to handle one of our "special" level-based sources (from ethernet or USAR chip.)
