No, we have to know what are the interrupts that are actually needed.
Commmit 9990f2f6264c fixed an interrupt flood issue that was seen on
some platforms where the firmware I guess enabled absolutely

So only enable the interrupts that you know you need.

What is this fixing? What are the use cases you are talking about?
