I know that. But without IRQ_CHIP_UNMASK_ACK set this fixup won'be applied so 
setups that are not affected should work as before.

This problem was already discussed before:

Of course, I can just modify xilinx_intc_unmask() routine to perform 
acknowledge as I did before, but it seems a hack to me.
