That's mainly what I do also.

I had this comment in the cvs log.

The status register was not reset by enable_irq so it
remembered the last one resulting in every interrupt
getting reported twice.
--
and the code that I used was

/* We have to do this manually as enable do not do this for us */
void mask_SR(int dev_irq){

	int bit;
	bit = (dev_irq-17) +25;

	mtdcr(DCRN_UIC_SR(UIC0), (1 << (31 - bit)));
}

basically parts of what irq_ack would do (dev_irq is a privat number
local to this driver)

Perhaps the enable code should reset this bit also?? everyone that dose
this type of userspace driver is going to hit this problem.
