A hot-bit clear (or set) is a register where to write the bits that
you want to clear (or set), leaving alone the bits that are written as
zero. For example:

REG = 0xFFFF
clear_reg(0x1001)
REG = 0x7FFE
set_reg(0x1000)
REG = 0xFFFE

It is extremely useful for registers that need to be accessed
concurrently (the GIC uses that a lot, for example).

No, that's not true. If you cannot mask an individual interrupt at the
INTC level, it means that the only way to stop a screaming interrupt
(because the endpoint has crashed or that the kernel doesn't have a
driver for it) is to disable the interrupt at the GIC level, killing
all users of the INTC. Also, because the core code doesn't really know
that the INTC is behind the GIC, it cannot do that automatically.

So if you get into that situation, your system is dead. Believe it or
not, that's not something I want to see. An irqchip driver without a
mask callback is a lose grenade, and the pin is in your pocket.

See above. Your system is terribly unsafe. Now, I'm pretty sure the
Realtek folks could help you there. Or you could start trying to
reverse engineer the thing, which shouldn't really hard (try poking at
the registers next to the ones you already have).
