It is not supposed to.
There is a bug in 2.5, with a fix from Linus currently in bitkeeper. I
have attached the patch.
Robert Love
# This is a BitKeeper generated patch for the following project:
# Project Name: Linux kernel tree
# This patch format is intended for GNU patch command version 2.5 or higher.
# This patch includes the following deltas:
# ChangeSet 1.610 -> 1.611
# arch/i386/kernel/irq.c 1.17 -> 1.18
#
# The following is the BitKeeper ChangeSet Log
# --------------------------------------------
# 02/09/04 torvalds@home.transmeta.com 1.611
# Fix IO-APIC edge IRQ handling. IRQ_INPROGRESS was cleared spuriously
# if a new edge happened while we were still processing the previous
# one.
#
# Then, if a _third_ edge came in, it would actually cause a reentrant
# irq handler invocation, because the original INPROGRESS bit was now
# lost.
#
# This was actually seen on IDE in PIO mode.
