[PATCH] htirq: refactor so we only have one function that writes to the chip
This refactoring actually optimizes the code a little by caching the value
that we think the device is programmed with instead of reading it back from
the hardware. Which simplifies the code a little and should speed things up a
bit.
This patch introduces the concept of a ht_irq_msg and modifies the
architecture read/write routines to update this code.
There is a minor consistency fix here as well as x86_64 forgot to initialize
the htirq as masked.
