[PATCH] powerpc: Fix PowerMac IRQ handling bug

The port to genirq & the new powerpc interrupt model in 2.6.18
introduced a bug in the legacy PowerMac PIC code (used on older
machines) because of a typo potentially causing hangs due to interrupt
storms. This fixes it, along with a performance issue causing us to do
spurrious retriggers after masking an interrupt.

This is another 2.6.18 regression, please apply to 2.6.18
