Subject: [PATCH] fix the interrupt loss problem on powerpc IPIC (2.6.25-2.6.28)

Description: The interrupt pending register is write 1 clear.  If there are more than one external interrupts pending at the same time, acking the first interrupt by reading pending register then OR the corresponding bit and write back to pending register will also clear other interrupt pending bits.  That will cause loss of interrupt.

Still no proper explanation in the patch.

Also, with this change, is 'temp' really needed, or can you just pass in the mask by hand?
