Yes. Your approach only allows enabling interrupts, but not disabling
them. And I don't like that it is not possible for generic userspace
tools to find out if a UIO device has this auto-irq-enabling capability
or not.

I just posted a patch that allows enabling _and_ disabling of irqs from
userspace by writing 0 or 1 to /dev/uioX. I've CCed you, could you
please test? If this doesn't do what you need, please let me know.

Thanks,
Hans
