On the ppc I eoi the intr before I handle it so lower-priority intrs are
not ignored while in that handler (if intrs are re-enabled).

} I was just wondering why this is done before handling the interrupt. In
}other code I have seen this done after the interrupt is handled (they
}called it an "EOI" (end of interrupt)).
