There's 6cc0c16d82f88 and maybe also other interrupt related patches
around this time that could affect book E, so it's good if that exact
patch is confirmed.
I've been staring at 3282a3da25bd for a while and nothing immediately
stands out. It doesn't look like the low level handlers do anything
special (well 0x900 does ack the decrementer, but so does the masked
handler).
Can you try this patch and also enable CONFIG_PPC_IRQ_SOFT_MASK_DEBUG?
Thanks,
Nick
