Hmmm, I wonder if that actually does something.

There's been a patch floating around that I was sure was merged, but
apparently wasn't that remove sun4i_irq_ack, because the register we
were writing to are in read only, and it wasn't doing anything.

Could that solve the other NMI-related issue we have with Carlo's
patches?
